(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.
