(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.
