(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.
