(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.
