(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.
