(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.
