(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.
