Medica III casting animation ends awkwardly

Summary: The Medica III casting animation starts the same as the ones for Glare III, Glare IV, and Holy III, but instead of ending gracefully, it seems to awkwardly end with the older Cure I, Cure II, and Medica I animations --- almost as if different animations were simply "stapled" together and not smoothly integrated.
