There's a kind of oasis that looks like it'd be good water to drink, but actually kills you since it's terribly polluted with natural gases and other bacteria. You can tell because no greenery grows around these oases, but would the sword glow in this situation?

Hmm...

We were talking only a +1 waterproofing sword.
To tell if it is potable water, requires a +2 waterproofing sword.

Are you trying to power game us?

This sword helps you tell the difference between water and hydrochloric acid.

And this is why the Lady of the Lake chucked her scimitar at Arthur.
