Is it possible to make a good spellsword without charge weapon?

Looking to play as a more arcane spellsword rather than a holy one for my current playthrough. If this isn't viable, then what's a decent mage build look like these days?

There's Flamebrand and Thunderbrand for At-Will alternatives that deal elemental damage with additional effects. They generate higher threat, so they're more meant for tanks, though.

Everything is viable unless you go out of your way to use powers that your character is not built for or that have zero synergy, like equipping ranged weapon powers when you use a greatsword.

There is also Blue Flame Blade, but you need to bind to Keros for it.

Planning this for a dragon playthrough so that's not going to happen
Flamebrand is your best bet then. Unless you willing to do a Valkyrie bind for Sunstrike, I'm not sure on the restrictions for that soulbind tho since I normally do Keros.
