(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.
