(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.
