(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.
