(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.
