(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.
