(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.
