Won't cauldrons sip mana?

[wololo]

While reading the belzebub documentation I got surprised with the statement on shrines:
"Unlike in the original Diablo, here in Diablo 1 HD mod all of them grant only beneficial effects(...)"

Does that mean cauldrons and goat shrines don't permanently take my mana or any other bad efect? If so I can't believe I killed Diablo with two characters while avoiding them all.

Yes, it does mean that cauldrons and goat shrines do not permanently take your mana away.
