Glimmering Shrine
"Mysteries are revealed in the light of reason" All unidentified items are identified.
Gloomy Shrine
"Those who defend, seldom attack"
Max damage of all weapons lowered by 1 (e.g. 2–4 becomes 2–3, etc.), protection of all armor raises by 1 or 2 points. You can exploit this by dropping all your weapons (even ones you don't want to use, as this affects their sell value) and then use the shrine to boost your armor.

Phasing spell.

"Riches abound when you least expect it"
Empty slots are filled with cash! The amount you get is modified by your level. If you get this from a Cauldron you get more. Drop all your equipment before using this shrine to ensure you get all the cash you're due (after all, a single-slot pile of cash is worth far more than the multi-slot weapons you were intending to sell).

All other players (only on the same floor?) are healed.
Stone Shrine
"Power of Mana refocused renews"
Refills your mana pool and recharges enchanted staffs.
