It's actually a recurring thing in the FF franchise, "En-" (or sometimes Sword Magic) spells that add Elemental bonus effects to weapon attacks.

You can actually see some ARR mobs still using this, like some Amaljaa will use "Enfire", some Ixali will use "Enaero", etc.

I always thought it was odd that FFXIV had nothing similar, but then I always thought it was odd that FFXIV just ignored elemental vulnerabilities. Even if you disable them on bosses for Balance™, you could at least enable it on open-world mobs where nothing matters anyway, just to have some flavor...

And despite the devs's sincere hopes, the grotesque and irritating Eureka spinny wheel was not the same thing.

...Anyway, I guess few people want a world where you choose the correct En-spell to apply to your fighters to make a dungeon go faster. But it could still make for a fun bonus effect that, as you say, allows a Healer to contribute damage support without having to actually strike anything themself.
