A coromanel is a flat, crown-shaped piece fitted over the tip of a lance. It spreads the power of a lance's impact in several directions, to make the force of the blow less severe. A coromanel is used when training with a lance, or in exhibition jousting matches, not meant to settle an argument. Keladry of Mindelan and Raoul of Goldenlake use coromanel tips on their lances when they practice jousting against each other.
