(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.
