(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.
