Sir Terry Pratchett, best known for his Discworld series, was one of the biggest names in fantasy and literature. At the turn of the century, he was Britain’s second most read author, only behind J.K. Rowling.ย His passing on March 12th inspired many to leave a tribute to him, one of which includesย Valveย withย theirย latest Dota 2 patch update.

Rest in peace, Sir Terry Pratchett

Dota 2’s latest patch updateย includesย anย item calledย Octarine Core. Octarine is a fictional color only seen by wizards in the Discworld novelย The Color of Magic.ย It is referenced as:

It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination, because wherever it appeared it was a sign that mere matter was a servant of the powers of the magical mind. It was enchantment itself.

โ€œBut Rincewind always thought it looked a sort of greenish-purple.โ€ย

If that’s not a “it’s game time” look, I don’t know what is!

In Dota 2, the Octarine Core isย fittingly most useful for mages. It reduces cool downs by 25%, buffsย players intelligence, mana pool and mana regeneration. However, it is one of the most expensive items in the game, and serves as anย end game asset. Here’s the full details on the item:

Requires:
Mystic Staff (2700)
Soul Booster (3200)
Total: 5900

Provides:
+25 Intelligence
+450 HP
+400 Mana
+4 HP regeneration
+100% Mana regeneration

Passive: Cooldown Reduction – Reduces all cooldowns by 25%

Passive: Spell Lifesteal – Restores health for a percentage of any damage dealt from spells. 25% from heroes, 5% from creeps

It’s always nice to see companies paying tribute to icons who have passed away. Like Dota 2 pays tribute to Pratchett, World of Warcraft paid tribute to Robin Williams and Star Trek Online paid tribute to Leonard Nimoy.

I believe that games are an important form of entertainment, and that they can uplift and inspire millions of people around the world. I love JRPGs, and dabble in many other genres, especially MOBAs.
