(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.
