(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.
