(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.
