Ever see an episode of Angel where he leans against the magical door barrier like its a physical wall, until he's invited in? I imagine it's like that. Moving the trap would literally drag the demon. So, yes.

- Reposts/Common Topic
Please use the community search bar before posting. Repetitive posts are determined by whether the same topic has been submitted recently, and most news updates/announcements will be pinned as an announcement on the community to avoid repeat submissions of the same thing. Submissions of multiple pieces of artwork in a short time frame will classify as spam. Post an album or space your submissions weekly.
- No Artist Credited
Always properly credit the artist when posting fanworks.

Supernatural creatures, locations, and the names of major characters in the series without context will not be considered spoilers, but sharing plot developments, major events, or details about their character arc wil/be.
- Inaccurate Flair
Any and all content relating to a specific season must be given that season's flair; do not flair it "News/Misc’ or "Fanworks". Additionally, OPs cannot spoil any seasons past the one they use as flair. For example, if an OP is talking about Season 10 enough to spoil it in the post text, their post flair should be of that season and not an earlier one. Now that the show has concluded, any discussion about future theories (like the prequel) should be flaired as Season 15.
- No Spoiler Markup
Users cannot spoil past the season the OP has flaired their post without spoiler markup. If the OP indicates in the text of their post that they have not finished the season their post is flaired, do not spoil them past where they are. Always put any future spoilers in the spoiler markup so OP has the choice to click and read or not.

Titles must not be vague or misleading. They should prepare the reader for exactly what they will see in your post. Do not reference previous posts, moderator actions, or any grievances. Please message the mod team directly to voice any concerns or frustrations.

I don't have a particular source, but my intuition says no, moving a trap in such a way that a demon wasn't in the circle would free the demon.
If yes, though, I feel dragging them would still be not very feasible. They're bound to the trap, but that doesn't mean they don't weigh anything, and moving the demon would require the normal amount of force.
So I guess you could drag them, but the trap wouldn't make dragging any easier, besides stopping them from smoking out.
If it did make them move then what would happen if you had 2 traps overlaid, and then moved one away? Venn diagram style. Demon killer?
I've never watched supernatural.
So in supernatural they just act like one-way cylindrical walls coming up from the circle. Some different Lore's punish a demon that crosses the line, supernatural just makes it impossible.
If you did damage to their physical body to the point where it couldn't live anymore, they could still turn to smoke and leave at that point, though.
There's specific ways to kill a demon that kill it forever, so this circle exploit wouldn't be that.
I think whoever was holding the movable circles would need the physical strength to crush the demon themselves, as if the walls were solid. Given their durability, no one would be able to do that, although a circle inscribed on a bulldozer or something might be able to cross with one on the ground and achieve this.
Still, crushing them would be less than useful. better off killing them permanently.
Thanks.
What if a trap is completed and the demon is partway inside? Probably just spits it out, one way or another?
So im supernatural, a partly completed trap just isn't functional. They complete the trap, then trick/force the demon to cross into the circle. Demons can walk in just fine.
A demon that hasn't fully crossed the trap isn't trapped yet and can just back up.
