What do enemy-mender aoe healing circles look like?

Long story short, I've made it this long without being able to easily identify when an enemy NPC or player is casting aoe heals, and how to identify where those heals are.

Obviously I can see when enemy menders are healing individuals and there's a white line of magic coming out of them and going towards an enemy. What I haven't been able to identify is, for example, things like Circle of Protection, Purifying Ritual, etc (I'm thinking specifically of DSA at the moment). That is, when an enemy mender casts a ground aoe heal, I can't tell how to identify the radius of they their heals in order to draw out enemies from that circle.

I'm a healer so I won't be taking on this role myself, but I want to understand the mechanics of tanks better to become a better healer.

So, does an enemy Circle of Protection, etc. show up as a red circle on the ground? What does it look like if it's not red? I'm watching Deltia's DSA guid and he mentions it but I can't see what he's talking about at 720p.

Any screenshot answers as well as text would be greatly appreciate. Thanks all.

    Yeah I've noticed the sparkles from the 'direct heals'--it's the aoe heals i'm confused about.

    So for example, at 2:50 Deltia mentions pulling enemies out of the healing circle.

    I'm squinting but at 720p I can't quite pick out what he's talking about. I do see aoe effects on the ground, but can't discriminate whether they're 'our healer's' or 'their healer's"
