(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.
