Spell Lifesteal mechanics

 * Abilities that lifesteal
 * All Active spells and items
 * Attack modifiers (only the attack modifier part, not the attack part)
 * All Passives except for backstab, critical strikes, bashes
 * Abilities that kill a target without dealing damage (Culling Blade, Hand of Midas, DIffusal blade on a summon, etc.)


 * Exceptions to the above rules that do not trigger lifesteal
 * Venomancer's Poison Sting
 * Spectre's Dispersion


 * Abilities that do not lifesteal
 * Summons/Wards (If they do not trigger blademail, they are not affected by Octarine Core.)
 * Passives or spells that add physical damage directly to attack values
 * Split/Multi shot type attacks
 * Damage amplification
 * HP removal/negative HP regeneration


 * Exceptions to the above rules that do trigger lifesteal
 * Spirit Breaker's Greater Bash as it is not a bash
 * Bounty Hunter's Shadow walk bonus damage (backstab damage is added directly to attack damage)
 * Templar Assassin's Psi Blades because it doesn't fall into any category
 * Templar Assassin's Meld damage is not real backstab-damage
 * Death Prophet's Exorcism uses summons, except not


 * Lifesteal will also work on the items of the octarine cores owner, e.g. Blademail, Radiance, Lotus Orb reflected spells, Dagon, E-Blade, Shiva's, Battle Fury, Maelstrom/Mjollnir, Orb of Venom, Eul's and Diffusal's purge on summons.


 * If you have a Lotus Orb and an Octarine Core the reflected spell will count as if you had cast it thus adding lifesteal from the reflected spell

Trivia

 * The components of Octarine Core are the components of pre-6.60.
 * Octarine Core gives the most flat mana in the game.
