Here you go Magnus:

"[On a mullet of seven points sable a decrescent gules fimbriated argent]
This design is essentially (Fieldless) A
mullet of seven points sable charged with a decrescent argent charged with a
decrescent gules.", which means it uses
a quaternary charge, which is disallowed by RfS VIII.1.c.ii (Layer Limit).
Fieldlessness has always been held to
count as one of the layers (see, for example, the return of Carlo della Casa
"(Fieldless) On a sun Or eclipsed
quarterly vert and azure, a fleur-de-lys Or" 9/95), and we have been
treating fimbriation as an X charged with
another since Bruce s tenure. (Jaelle of Armida, LoAR October 1996, p. 11)"
