(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.
