(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.
