(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.
