Devil's Trap Bullet (Supernatural) can trap and bind demons to their vessels.
Taoist (Valkyrie Crusade) sealed demons within her talismans, using them as weapons.
The Goddess Amber (Nanatsu no Taizai) can seal those with demonic powers within a radius of a few feet.
A Devil's Trap (Supernatural) is a sigil trap for demons. Like salt or iron, demons can't escape once inside the trap. They can easily walk into one, but can't get out unless the circle is broken, and they cannot use their powers nor break the circle directly while within it.
