(Equisetum)               
                                          
                                          
                                          
          The Plant         
                                          
 The  Equisetum  Is  A Plant  Much  Older 
 Than  Ferns,  Which  Are  In  Turn  Much 
 Older Than Most  Trees. It'S Light Green 
 To  Yellow  In  Color  And  Is  Slightly 
               Transparent.               
                                          
 The  Plant Has A Spine. Each Vertebra Is 
 Stacked Upon  The  Next, With  Spokelike 
 Ribs  Radiating  Outward.  Even So, It'S 
 Very Light,  Being Hollow. It'S  Roughly 
 The  Height  Of A Foxes Tail, And Shares 
            A Similar Plumage.            
                                          
 It  Likes  Partial  Shade  And Very Damp 
                   Areas                  
                                          
                                          
                                          
          In Magic          
                                          
 When  A  Colony Numbers  High Enough, It 
 Slices  The  Air  In  The   Forest  Into 
 Separate  Planes, A  Few  Centimeters In 
 Height.  Time  Can  Get   Diffracted  In 
 These,  Hitting   Each  In   Turn  In  A 
       Slightly Different Angle, And      
         Eventually Spread Thin.
