Trivia

  • The name Octarine is a tribute to Terry Pratchett who died one month and a half before the introduction of the item. In Pratchett`s Discworld novel series, Octarine, a greenish-purple hue, is the eighth color of the visible spectrum. It is called the colour of magic as it can only be seen by wizards (and cats) and often accompany magical discharges.
