(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.
