Devil's Trap (Supernatural)

This is an article reffering to the trap introduced in Supernatural.Devil's Traps are sigil traps for demons. Like salt or iron, demons can't escape once inside the trap. Any demon with the exception of Cain 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.
Hunters need a roof or floor to draw this trap to catch a demon. They can use chalk, spray paint, marker, or blood to draw it. Even using it as a light can be effective. A Devil's Trap can also be concealed and still catch a demon. Once down, this can be used to trap any sort of demon, however Cain says it will not trap him for long. In addition, it can be used to protect something.
== The Lucas Legacy ==
During the nine-month peace time, Gavin learnt how to use it; although there were no demons to catch.
== The Demon from within ==
It was used twice prominently in this oneshot as Gavin was reciting it from written notes of the incantation. He used it to entrap the baby boy of Lucifer, Adrian, as Team Witness fought off the Satanists. Alarmed as it took effect, Rosemary ran into the Trap, taking them both to Hell, specifically Limbo. Jenny planned the trap after Ichabod and Molly received various visions of a demon intruding Rose, even to remain below decks as protection from an oncoming typhoon which already hit London.
It was used again after Ichabod entered Gavin's mind while his lethal guardian, Lolita, was torturing it. He outlined the symbol encasing Gavin's cerebellum, and he tricked Lolita by offering her to invade and take over his stronger mind. The dark spirit was trapped, and after Ichabod recited the spell from his eidetic memory, Gavin was exorcised! It was mentioned by Molly that doing it from the outside would be too lethal, and Chief Turgado mentioned since Gavin's bond with Ichabod was strong, he'd survive the exorcism!
== Incantation ==
Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica.
Ergo, draco maledicte et omnis legio diabolica, adjuramus te,
Cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare.
Vade, satana, inventor et magister omnis fallaciæ, hostis humanæ salutis.
Humiliare sub potenti manu Dei, contremisce et effuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terribili Nomini quem inferi tremunt.
Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine.
Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica.
Ergo, draco maledicte et omnis legio diabolica, adjuramus te … cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare.
Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus,
Audi nos!
