(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.
