(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.
