Your minion will not harm the shields of anybody on your side of the combat circle. Whoever told you that is full of baloney.

There are a lot of people who have the "my kill" mentality. Nobody owns an enemy. Anybody can cast any spell at any enemy they choose.

As for general tips, the best advice is to use common sense.

You didn't mention what world you were playing in, but assuming you were in a battle meant for your level, I don't see the problem. I think you ran across someone taking this game a little too seriously. As you progress, the bosses start getting so big that layers of traps have to be applied to multiply an attack. If you use up someone's traps with a low-powered spell it can irritate. This is more common if you are playing above your level in a world you teleported to but in which you don't have regular access. When someone says they have the boss it probably means they have or will have a trap on the boss and will follow up with a large attack spell. Don't be too concerned about any of this, just play and have fun!

In your "little wooden boy" scenario, that life wizard got angry that your minion was using up all the traps the life player was setting down. The golem minion casts all the 1 pip spells from each school, therefore has a good chance to activate other's traps.

The guy in the coffin is the Death school vampire spell and likely activated a death trap (if the person you grouped with was death) or activated a universal or global trap.

It is ridiculous, that those players would not explain this to you and just simply get mad. It's really not that big of a deal, but good "Wizretiquette" asks that you attempt to not use up other's traps (unless that is your group plan). Especially for death wizards since they rely on more damage for more healing. However, in the end, if the enemies are defeated who cares?

Is open chat not an option for you? It really does help.
