I vaguely remember that there was discussion about "escarbuncle of",
but I don't recall what was said. -- The blazon should specify
whether the points are to center or the bases are to center.
I suspect it would be reblazoned to "eight arrows whatever to to
center" anyway, as even Parker doesn't mention "escarbuncle of"
(except of staves or rays, the normal sort -- but he doesn't even
mention "of chain", from the arms of Navarre).

You beg the question "is there anything other than conflict that could
cause this to bounce?"
The CoA Glossary Appendix 1 is "Terms Commonly Misused in the SCA
College of Arms". It includes the definition
Enflamed. A charge which has small gouts of flame issuing from
it. See also _On a flame_.
So, with just little bits of flame coming off, it's essentially
Gules, an escarbuncle of arrows sable.
Color-on-color instaboing, I'm afraid.
