(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.
