Here is a copy of the shrine listing that is available on one of the Diablo
websites.

SHRINE NAME *"message"* Description….?
_____________________________________________________________________

EERIE SHRINE * "You forget who you are." * In the character menu, your
name appears backwards. I found a cool name with this shrine. Also gives
you a +2 to your magic.

SUPERNATURAL SHRINE * "You hear a strange cry from the distance." * A guess
would be that it increases the strength of the boss on the current level.
By how much? I'm not sure.

SPIRITUAL SHRINE * "Untold wealth!" * This shrine fills what ever you have
left of your inventory with gold. For each little box, it adds about an
average of 6 gold pieces.

MYSTERIOUS SHRINE * "Odd sensations" * It raises one of your stats by 5 and
drops the others by 1.

CRYPTIC SHRINE * "Power comes from your disorientation..." * It takes some
of your strength and adds it to your mana.

ENCHANTED SHRINE * "Did you forget something?" * One of the spells you have
learned is forgotten. That happens because you haven't finished your
current quests. If you have finished all of your quests, you get experience
points instead.

HIDDEN SHRINE * "Energy passes through your equipment..." * The stuff that
you are wearing and wielding gets +10 permanent durability. Once in a while
a piece of equiptment will disappear. Other effects I have noticed were
that one item I was using, disappeared while the others got stronger.
(Durable)

MYSTIC SHRINE * "Your skills increase, but at a price" * You lose all your
gold pieces but 1, however your stats increase.

IMPOSING SHRINE * "A surge of blood interrupts your thoughts" * It takes
about 1/4 of your mana and transfers it to your health.

MAGIC SHRINE * "Growling is heard throughout the dungeon." * The levels
above your current one are refilled with monsters.

THAUMATURGIC SHRINE * "You hear a series of creaks and thumps" * Any chests
in the dungeon are refilled and closed. It's best to open them all up, and
then come back and use this shrine.

FACINATING SHRINE * "You are the powerless master of fire" * It gives you
the ability to cast level 5 firebolt spells. It also makes it impossible to
hit something with firebolt. (And I do mean impossible.) Although, once you
leave the level, it wears off.

HOLY SHRINE * Nothing * Holy Shrine transports you to somewhere else in the
dungeon... Each time I tried it, the shrine teleported me to spots where
bosses were located. One time, the boss wasn't dead yet...

Here's a couple additions:

GOAT SHRINE - converts all mana and health potions in your inventory to
rejuvenation potions.

RELIGIOUS SHRINE - Restores the durability of all your item to the
maximum.

ABANDONED SHRINE - "Hands of Men are guided by Faith" - that's the
catch phrase, but I was unable to determine the effect of this one.

And some more:

SECLUDED SHRINE - Gives you a map of the current level

STONE SHRINE - "Power of Mana refocuses .." - renews mana

And there also seems to be some randomness - I have had a different
affect for Goat Shrines, and have had a different effect for the
following:

"EERIE SHRINE" - mine said "Knowledge and Wisdom at the cost of Self" -
and gave me MAGIC/MANA and took life points.

"MAGICAL SHRINE" - mine said "While the spirit is vigilent, the body
shines", and it cast a "Mana Shield" for me.

Some changed between Demo and actual game, this is why some sites
appear wrong.

Goat shrine is random i believe.

Goat shrines have random outcome.

Actually, Goat Shrines are just as varied as normal shrines, but there
is no way of telling what they will do beforehand. It's possible they
weed out the 'bad' shrine effects, but then again I may just be lucky.

do you get the idea these shrines may be *random*?

No, the Goat Shrine causes a random effect.

This is the "Eldritch Shrine". Regular potions (healing/mana) become
regular rejuvenation potions; full healing/mana become full rejuvenation.

The Goat Shrines and the Cauldrons are random, the others all have set
effects, as far as I can tell.
