(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.
