(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.
