(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.
