    Nope! Just spent two hours collecting data on this.

    Enemies who cast Water and its variants use a spell-swirly animation that's the same shade of aquamarine as most oGCD skills available to all jobs. (Including, funnily enough, our swords.)

    Vercure (and Benefic) use a shade of desaturated silvery-purple-blue that shares more in common with the lighting on our job-switch animation than any Water spell. I'd sooner argue they're a unique color for "unaspected healing" (as opposed to the "rainbow" of unaspected damage).

    The swords, meanwhile... deal unaspected damage. And before you say "well they're stabbing you", Blizzard IV drops a glacier on your head and still deals ice damage, impact type ain't the determining factor. Contre Sixte's swords explode and still don't deal ice damage.
    Our sword oGCDs are just crystallized aether. Stop imposing your headcanon as fact.
