(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.
