(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.
