(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.
