(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.
