(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.
