(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.
