(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.
