Trivia

• Octarine Core's name is a homage to the comic fantasy book series Discworld, paying tribute to the writer Terry Pratchett, who died about a month prior to the item's release.
  • In the series, Octarine is a fictional color, which is described as "resembling a flourescent greenish-yellow purple". The color can only be seen by wizards and by cats, which is also referenced by Octarine Core's item lore.
• The components of Octarine Core are the same as the components of the pre-6.60 Aghanim's Scepter.
