(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.
