Octarine Core's name is an 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 before version 7.27 are the same as the components of the Pre-6.60 Aghanim's Scepter.
