(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.
