Name Message Effect

Eerie Shrine "Knowlege and Wisdom at the cost of Self" +2 to Magic
Abandoned Shrine "The hands of men may be Guided by Fate" +2 to Dexterity
Creepy Shrine "Strength is bolstered by heavenly Faith" +2 to Strength
Wierd Shrine "?" Adds one point to your edged weapons' max damage
Eldritch Shrine "Crimson and Azure become as the Sun" All potions/full potions become rejuvenation/full rejuvenation potions. Elixirs are unaffected
Magical Shrine "While the Spirit is vigilant, the Body thrives" You get a mana shield that lasts until you leave the level or run out of mana
Glimmering Shrine "Mysteries are revealed in the Light of Reason" All magical items are identified
Religious Shrine "Time cannot diminish the Power of Steel" All items are repaired to their max durability
Enchanted Shrine "Magic is not always What it seems" All but one of your spells increase by one level. The one exception decreases one level. If your spellbook is packed, this is a very good shrine
Tainted Shrine "Those who are Last, may yet be First" Your lowest spell level increases by one (Thanks, Rao)
Mysterious Shrine "One grows Strong as others Weaken" Five points are added to a random attribute while one point is taken from each of the other three
Divine Shrine "Drink and be Refreshed" Two potions of Full Rejuvenation fall at your feet. It might also refill both orbs
Spiritual Shrine "Riches come when least expected" This one fills your open inventory slots with money. An empty inventory will fill with around 500 gold
Hidden Shrine "New Strength is forged through Destruction" At random, one equipped item will lose 10 points of permanent durability, while the rest will gain ten points. An item will not be destroyed in this manner, merely brought to a durability of 1
Holy Shrine "Wherever you go, there you are" The Buckaroo Banzai Shrine. It will phase you when you touch it
Gloomy Shrine "?" I've heard that it will decrease the AC of all armor in your possession by 2 and increase the max damage off all weapons in your possession by 1
Cryptic Shrine "Arcane Power brings Destruction" A nova spell goes off (ouch). It also acts as a potion of full mana. If you have a manashield up, you will take zero damage
Spooky Shrine "Where Avarice fails, Patience gains reward" I have heard that it fully heals all players
Stone Shrine "The powers of mana refocused anew" Recharges staves, I think
Secluded Shrine "The way is clear when seen from above" Your map fills in. A real pain in the ass
Facinating Shrine "Intensity comes at the Cost of Wisdom" I think it adds 2 to your firebolt spell level. I KNOW that is steals 15 points of permanent mana and, possibly, one point of magic. Avoid like the plague
Sacred Shrine "Energy comes at the Cost of Wisdom" You gain something (2 levels of Charged Bolt or some hitpoints) and lose some permanent mana. NOT worth the tradeoff
Ornate Shrine "Salvation comes at the Cost of wisdom" I think it boosts Holy Bolt by two levels but it takes some permanent mana away. Very very bad

Pools and Fountains: these "shrines" are filled with some kind of liquid that can be drunk either once or an unlimited number of times.

Purifying Shrine " " Regain one point of mana per drink. Unlimited uses
Fountain of Tears " " Two random attributes exchange a point
Murky Pool " " Your one allotted sip gives you infravision for a couple of minutes
