(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.
