(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.
