The tactic I use, which purists may consider cheating, but "Oh well!"
is to save the game just before using the shrine or pool;  as all this
stuff is generated when the dungeon is created, and will stay that way
no matter what until you restart a new game, you save, look over your
spells and Inventory, close them, bring up the Character screen, tough
the pool/shrine and keep an eye on all the info in the Char. window.
If anything goes down that you don't want to go down or can't live
with losing just yet, you reload the game and don't touch that
pool/shrine until/if you want.
