Merciful Healer and Healing Spells

[Zahir ibn Mahmoud ibn Jothan]

Combat Medic (Ex)::

A merciful healer does not provoke attacks of opportunity when using the Heal skill to stabilize another creature or casting healing spells.

If a Merciful Healer is using a cure spell, either spontaneous, or otherwise, to damage undead, is she subject to AOOs?

I'm split. It's a "cure" spell, but not a "healing" spell at that point, and the ability definitely states "healing."

same spell i would say no AOO because the spell is still the same spell it just has a different effect than normal on an undead creature.

It is still a "Conjuration (Healing)" spell, so no AoO.

I don't think there's a mechanical difference between using the cure spell to heal and using it to damage undead. If someone said there was you can just insist you're trying to heal the enemy.

There we go, that's the argument I was hoping to get, thanks James.

Now, if I had wizard levels...
