Checking: (Fieldless) On a flame argent an anvil sable.
Magnus called the conflict I'm also calling, this being:
Elvira de Cordoba - June of 1984 (via Meridies): Per pale gules and sable, on
a flame argent a unicorn's head couped sable.

Sorry, Timothy, but Magnus is correct.
A flame is not simple enough in outline to be voided as per X.4.j.ii.a.
Here are relative Laurel precedents:
Though blazoned as "enflamed argent and azure", the flames were drawn
on the large emblazon as "azure, fimbriated argent". We have
disallowed fimbriated flames for quite some time. [12a/93, p.15]
... the flames were drawn as fimbriated, which has not been allowed
for some time. [Frederich Holstein der Tollhase, 9/99, R-Middle]
These are not flames proper, they are flames Or fimbriated gules.
This has been disallowed for some time. [Magnus Jager, 10/99,
AEthelmearc]
[flames proper] The flames are poorly tinctured; flames proper should
have alternating tongues of Or and gules. The flames here are Or
fimbriated gules, which has long been grounds for return.[Jared the
Potter and Sajah bint Habushun ibn Ishandiyar al-Hajjaj, 11/99,
R-Atlantia]
No fimbriating, no voiding. No voiding, no X.4.j.ii.a. Conflict with the
cited with only one CD for removal of the field as per X.4.a.iii.
