(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.
