I once wrote a story about a serial killer who dreamed he was being instructed in what to do by a demon.The demon would never appear at night on a full moon however, even when summoned. One night the killer murdered a young woman on a full moon near sunrise. The demon appeared at about that same time to consume the killer. When the demon did the killer fled towards the rising sun. The demon gave pursuit and caught the murderer. As he did so he had two shadows, one cast by the rising sun, the other by the setting moon. When they converged the shadow stood up and ate the demon then walked into the shadow of the killer, and the murderer was discovered by a passing car at the crime scene and was shortly apprehended by the police, and executed on a full moon near sunrise.2. Another I can think of is an astronomical convergence where two comets collide according to a prophecy and if the demon can be trapped in a  certain locale while this happens he is crushed as if caught between the comets.3. If the demon can be caught at a certain holy place when certain conditions are met then butterflies (psyche also means soul) will appear (the souls of previous victims) and they will encase the demon in a cocoon from which he cannot escape and will be forced down to the size of a caterpillar and then frozen as a larva in that from forever. This is not a slaying of the demon but is an eternal entrapment.4. Of course you've got the biblical references. Such as the demon inhabits a victim, then is exercised, cast into swine who then run mad and kill themselves. Or are killed by the party. but maybe he is exercised into the body of a monster rather than swine.5. A demon is trapped in a crypt of Saints or Holy Men who then rise to do battle with the demon with the cooperation of the party. But rather than fight the demon the Saints speak scriptures to it until it is dispelled back to where it came from.6. A relic is touched to the done which then paralyzes it until the demon can be drown or buried alive in sacred earth which reduces it to scattered bones which cannot rejoin or move.7. There is an alchemical substance, sort of like a reverse Philosopher's Stone, which when mixed with blood and consumed by the demon will make him decrepit, mortal, and frail, so that he can be killed.Good luck.</blockquote>
