For this, I put forward the question "How many full-time Olympic gymnasts are also full-time nuclear engineers?"
Weapons and magic alike would take years of practice. Kale can use most types of weapons (except the bow, which is something that needs to be honed from an early age) because he's been a fighter for around 15 years. The axe and lance are relatively rudimentary weapons, with the sword being his 'primary'. He can't do the whole different forms for pugilism, but it's safe to assume most disciples of war would know how to punch things. But I'll be damned if Kale becomes a master conjurer unless he drops his current occupation and spends the next few years at Stillglade Fane.
This is just my RP style; I take a very grounded, counter-Sue approach to everything!
 If Kale met a skilled marauder who was also a black mage, he'd probably roll his eyes with a scathingly sarcastic remark about how "The Twelve must think you're very special".
As for DoH/DoL, this is very workable, IMO. Botanist+fisher+leatherworker+culinarian+carpenter+weaver and BOOM! You have a woodsman type character! Armorer+blacksmith should be compatible too, imo.
