(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.
