(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.
