A sparring match is a friendly fighting contest you can initiate using the
CHALLENGE command. You need to be using a sparring weapon or be fighting unarmed
to do this.

While sparring, you can perform most regular combat actions but you will not
injure your opponent. Damage dealt is applied to your opponent's resolve rather
than health. The match will end when someone's resolve fully depletes, with
their opponent becoming the victor. You may also end the match early with the
YIELD command.

Sparring can be a great way to practice your combat skills in a safe
environment, though keep in mind that sparring is not a perfect substitute for
real combat, and some skills are used differently when fighting for one's life.
