Had he not basically fallen over onto the shrine touching it would've never been in any of his plans either, and there's probably far better ways they can keep exploring what it might offer.

Such as - what Gideon offers when it comes to putting bones on it rather than their own hands. ]

It can't hurt, and that probably goes for not hurting the shrine or the bones themselves. Some of them seem like they've... been down here a while.
