(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.
