(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.
