(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.
