SO. Phil's soul (or anima, if you want to use the Rays term) is... very damaged, actually! He was born with an innate anima deficiency, which renders him sickly and in need of regular medicine to manage the condition, and then ON TOP OF THAT this idiot's research and experiments involving anima gave him anima contamination as well. To quote canon itself, "The contaminated cells age, and at the same time attack the surrounding normal cells. This sickens the soul as well."
It's stated in canon that exoflecting Phantom damaged him in both body and soul, too. SO YEAH, HE'S A LITTLE BIT BROKEN IN MULTIPLE WAYS, enough so that it would most definitely be noticeable. He himself states he's only got around ten years left, to give an idea of just how bad it is.
