(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.
