(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.
