Where I am from, disciplines of magic are not divided by what effects their spells have, but by how their spells are formed, and which elemental aspect they utilize.
Thaumaturges use the elements of fire, ice, and lightning to power their spells, whilst conjurers channel earth, air, and water.
They are both mages, and with the proper training most would be able to learn the other discipline.
Some may struggle, as every living creature has its unique elemental affinities. Humankind and its ilk are elementally neutral as a general rule, but one individual may struggle to channel their aether (magic, life energy; all interchangeable terms in my realm) into a curative spell, yet be able to form a fire spell as easy as breathing.
A better example may be to liken it to athletes who run track — a marathon runner and a sprinter both can run, but cannot both run in the same way. In theory a sprinter could run marathons with training, or a marathon runner could sprint, though various factors may interefere.
Just as some people have genetic dispositions that aid or hinder them in sport, so too can the same be said for magic. One well-known example is the link between one's heritage and their stores of expendable aether, though there are always outliers.
So I suppose the short answer would be that no, there are no specific offense-focused healing spells. However, each healing discipline has its own unique offensive spells.
Conjurers can lift stone and manipulate air into powerful attacking spells. Astrologians can utilize celestial aether in the same way, though admittedly I know little about it.
I am a Scholar, which is a branch of arcanima that focuses on healing and defense rather than strictly offense. My younger brother created his own unique form of healing magic based upon similar concepts, which goes to prove that there is always new innovation to be made.
Apologies for rambling — I've a keen interest in the topic. My natural affinity tends to favour healing, but I've equal aptitude in the other disciplines I've dabbled in as well.
