(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.
