No,I remember the definition in the books including possessing both sides of the gift..

A mage before the sealing= Possessing both sides of the gift.

War Wizard= Can practice all sorts of magic and has both sides of the gift...

Even the wiki description says so.

"A War Wizard is a wizard that was born with the gift of both Additive Magic and Subtractive Magic and is proficient in many of the forms those take." "Being born with the gifts of both Additive Magic and Subtractive Magic, war wizards generally are proficient in many of the forms those magics take. Acts such as prophecy, conjuring, healing, and making have all been done by war wizards in the past. A war wizard's power comes from instinct and emotion, particularly driven by need and anger. But those who understand the Wizard's Eleventh Rule are able to use their magic at will."

And I just remembered why your definition is wrong...

Baraccus has been referred to as the "Last War Wizard before Richard" in the books many times.If what you said was true,Alric Rahl should have been the one referred to as such..

He possesses all the things you qualify except having Subtractive magic. Just like Richard,he was using the "emotions" to manifest his han and power. But he clearly wasn't referred to as a WW even though he came after Baraccus... Soo....
