(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.
