(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.
