EDIT: I want to delete this topic because I forgot to mark it as a question. The other one is marked. Please reply to the other post.

Basically the questions in the title but here's more detail.

I noticed that I could inspect a chest with my sorcerer (costs 1 spell point) and it says Magic[Y or N] Trap[Y or N]. So I figured the second piece of info is obvious but then after I choose 2) disarm trap with my thief my whole party gets blown up. The first question is should I simply leave chests? Just now I got blown up on a tremendous run where I only wanted to get back home and save. Now all that progress and items is lost.

The second question is what does Magic[Y] mean? I don't remember reading anything about it in the manual but I'll look into it tomorrow.

On a side note I'm 9 hours in and when the game clicks, it actually is pretty amazing for a 38-year-old game. It's actually pretty solid so far. I've never played a Might and Magic cRPG (but have spent countless hours in HoMM3 :) back in the days) and I'm currently committed to playing through the series but these mechanics are quite hardcore for me. Anyways.
