A container or object which holds all or part of a person's soul (or life, or heart) outside of their body; this makes that person immortal and/or invulnerable. The only flaw is that the Soul Jar is now their Achilles' Heel (assuming that the jar isn't itself Made of Indestructium). Usually, they make sure it is very well protected (the word phylactery, the common name for this kind of container from Dungeons & Dragons fame, actually comes from Ancient Greek phylacterion, form of phylássein, [φυλάσσειν] meaning "to guard, protect"; it has historically been used for a variety of objects, including amulets and reliquaries, but is not in common use in modern English).
Typically, Soul Jars work in one of two ways:
1) The person whose soul is jarred cannot be physically killed (or in some cases even injured) as long as the jar is intact. This one has two sub-categories:
1a) Destroying the jar kills the entity whose soul was jarred. (See the Yura of the Hair example below.)
1b) Destroying the jar makes it possible to kill the entity whose soul was jarred. (Voldemort's horcruxes are of this type, same for The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body, and similar fairy tales.)
2) The person can be physically killed while the jar is intact, but they don't stay dead, in which case it doubles as a form of Resurrective Immortality. They can only be completely killed by destroying both the jar and the current body. This comes in three flavors:
2a) The jar grows a replacement body for the one that was killed.
2b) The jarred soul can reach out from the jar to hijack someone else's body. Over time, the possessed person may change to resemble the soul's original body.
2c) The jarred soul needs an external help to resuscitate/obtain a replacement body.
The Trope Namer is Might and Magic, where necromancers and evil wizards transfer their souls into literal jars during the spell to transform themselves into liches.
The trope itself, however, is Older Than Dirt — it appears in the ancient Egyptian Tale of Two Brothers, where one of the brothers survives his death by hiding his heart on a tree for the other to restore later.
Of course despite the name it's not necessarily a jar; common examples are paintings, gems and still beating hearts; and in mythology and fairy tales, eggs or trees. It does not necessarily host a soul, either; sometimes an object is tied to a character's immortality, but does not actually contain the character's soul. The device is usually used by liches, and is invariably associated with them in folklore.
Tends to overlap with Synchronization whenever two or more people's lives are linked to each other.
A subtrope of Ghost in the Machine and Immortality Inducer. If the owner's body is destroyed, the Soul Jar may become Sealed Evil (or Good, or Badass) In A Can. If the owner of the Soul Jar is evil, then there's a good chance the Soul Jar is an Artifact of Doom. If the Soul Jar gives a special power but using it can be hazardous, it may also be an Amulet of Dependency. If the Soul Jar has to be inside the body for the character to "live", it's a Heart Drive.
Compare Brain in a Jar and Brain Uploading for science fiction equivalents. See also Fighting a Shadow, Animating Artifact and Fantastic Fragility. Not to be confused with Crystal Prison, where a person is trapped in a gem. When this takes the form of a literal jar (or bottle or tank or whatever else) with a soul in it, see also Jar of the Bizarre.

In The Penguins of Madagascar, the baboons use "backwoods magic" to steal King Julien's "groove" and seal it in a jar until he gives them an apology for throwing a skunk into their pen. Julien, of course, refuses, and a fight for the jar ensues. It falls and breaks at Skipper's feet, who has remained skeptical about the whole "groove in a jar" thing until he starts dancing uncontrollably.

Divinity: Original Sin II: Some, but not all, undead have soul jars; the character is resurrected whenever their body is destroyed, but dies instantly if the soul jar is destroyed. The Player Character can also consume the trapped soul for Source points. It's implied to be an unpleasant existence; if she reclaims her soul from its jar, Gratiana is overjoyed to be able to feel water on her face for the first time in centuries.

In Destiny:
Oryx, the Taken King of the Hive, is already a form of lich who cannot be killed in the real world. In order to defeat him you have to first rebuke him and drive him back to his "throne world," which is the reality where his actual soul is held, and then fight through that to kill him for good. Even then, Oryx prepared for this eventuality, laying plans to create a weapon known as the Touch of Malice, a rifle that contains a portion of Oryx's soul, and offers whoever slays Oryx great power... but will eventually merge Oryx's soul with that of his killer so that they become one being.
Oryx's son Crota devised an "oversoul" — a manifestation separate of his body that stored his soul and prevented him from being killed directly. He stores it safely in his throne world, and his disciples are able to summon a physical manifestation of him from his throne world to wreak havoc on the real world. The Guardians prevent his soul from being brought back tot he real world, and then journeyed into his throne world to slay him face-to-face.
Two of Oryx's daughters, Ir Halak and Ir Anuk, turned each other into their Soul Jars, hiding their "deaths" in each other's body. Killing one but not the other will result in the dead twin resurrecting in a few seconds.
Ghosts serve as this role for Guardians, who are virtually liches themselves in the sense that they are resurrected bodies refilled with the Ghost's own Light. As long as the Ghost remains intact and neither the Guardian nor the Ghost's reserves of Light are drained, the Ghost can keep resurrecting the Guardian indefinitely.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Witches hatch from their Grief Seed, and they leave it behind when they are killed. Magical girls use the Grief Seeds from defeated witches to recharge their powers, although it's stated that too much use of a Grief Seed can revive the witch. Which is why Kyubey eats "used-up" Grief Seeds.
Later, we find that a magical girl's 'Soul Gem' is an entirely literal name — upon making the contract with Kyubey, a magical girl's soul is placed inside the gem, which becomes her new "body" which controls her original one, which essentially turns her into a lich. It can be used to affect her original body by means of stimulating it. It cannot be more than 100 meters from its owner or else the original body will lose consciousness and enter an Empty Shell state until the Soul Gem is brought back — and if the body goes too long without the gem, it starts to decompose just like a corpse. Finally, as long as the gem is intact, the magical girl will eventually recover from any wounds her original body takes, but if the gem is ever destroyed, as happens several times in the series, the magical girl will immediately — and irrevocably — die. Much later, we find out that Soul Gems will eventually become Grief Seeds, and Magical Girls will eventually become Witches.

In Over the Garden Wall, the Beast put the Woodsman's daughter's soul in the Dark Lantern, and it will be lost if the Woodsman doesn't continually keep it lit with Edelwood oil. Since Edelwood trees are made from lost travelers whom the Beast either kills or pushes past the Despair Event Horizon, the Woodsman is understandably torn between obsessively keeping the Lantern lit and trying to help the Beast's chosen victims. The Lantern actually holds the Beast's own soul, and once the Woodsman realizes this, he snuffs it out and destroys him.

Mystery Case Files: In a variation, Charles Dalimar in the Return to Ravenhearst casual game uses a Soul Jar consisting of other people's souls, plus his own disembodied heart. This has evidently allowed him to remain in the world for generations, long after he should have died of old age. Charles apparently learned this trick from his father Alister; in Fate's Carnival we learn that Alister can only be killed by destroying a specific book.

Dragon Age has examples, such as the Life Gem with the trapped Arcane Warrior's soul and the Black Vials holding the souls of the six Revenants scattered across Ferelden. Also, as revealed in Dragon Age II, this is how Flemeth survives her (optional) death at the Warden's hands: during the destruction of Lothering, she rescues the Hawke family from Darkspawn and gives them an amulet to deliver to Sundermount. If the Warden kills her afterwards, she is reborn from the amulet a year later thanks to Hawke. If the Warden doesn't, she simply uses the amulet as a teleportation beacon to travel to Sundermount undetected.

RuneQuest, Avalon Hill's Heroes magazine article "New Spells for RuneQuest 3". The Invulnerability spell allows the caster to remove his own heart without dying and hide it away somewhere. As long as the heart is undamaged the rest of the caster's body is immune to physical damage. If the heart is destroyed the caster will turn to dust.

In Duel Savior Destiny Nanashi is the soul jar of the legendary hero Rubinas, who died a thousand years ago. Perhaps somewhat unusually for this trope Nanashi is actually Rubinas' soul itself while what is called Rubinas is more akin to her will or memories, though still certainly alive.

Angel:
In one episode, a vampire has his heart surgically removed so that Angel can't stake him. Unusually for this trope, he is eventually defeated not by locating and destroying his heart, but by waiting until the time limit was up.
There's also the literal jar where Angel's soul is sealed to bring Angelus out temporarily.

In All Dogs Go to Heaven, a person's life (or, at least, a dog's) is measured by a timepiece. Charlie steals his after death and winds it back up again, returning to life. This has the downside of meaning he'll go to Hell when he finally kicks it again, but he's not too concerned, since as long as the watch keeps ticking he's effectively immortal. It eventually stops working due to extensive water damage, condemning Charlie to Hell. But he gets saved later because he risked his own life to save Anne Marie.

Dangerverse has three different variants.
The Horcrux Letifera, or "Deathly Horcrux", is the Horcrux of Potterverse canon: a fragment of a soul torn free by intentional murder, bound to an item by Black Magic, and used to keep its master alive beyond death. It can be healed by remorse, by acknowledging your sins as sins and repenting of your crimes.
It is also possible to accidentally tear your soul by obsessing over your guilt for a death for which you believe yourself responsible. If not reintegrated by self-forgiveness, the soul fragment may bond to an item which you spend a lot of time around, or one which is in some way connected to the death for which you feel guilt. Accidental Horcruxes can be healed (even after death) by forgiving yourself for the death that created the tear, and laying aside your guilt over it.
Finally, we have the Horcrux Viviens, or "Living External Soul". This is created when two beings whose souls have been freshly wounded by grief and loss meet and form a bond of love, allowing their damaged souls to heal together. Each then acts as an anchor to the other, allowing one of them to pull the other back from death as long as the bond between them remains intact.

The first encounter with Seath the Scaleless in Dark Souls is a Hopeless Boss Fight thanks to the Primordial Crystal which grants him complete immortality. Any damage you do to him will instantly heal. After making your way through the dungeon, you eventually find the Crystal, at which point Seath shows up to defend it, initiating the real boss fight. Shattering the Crystal renders Seath vulnerable. Tricking Seath into shattering it himself leaves him stunned by his own stupidity and lets you get in a few free hits.

In John Barnes's One for the Morning Glory, they deduce that Waldo must have done this by the magical powers he gains from it; with the aid of the Riddling Beast, they track it down and destroy it.

In the Friday the 13th fan film Never Hike Alone 2, Tommy Jarvis speculates that Pamela Voorhees' severed head somehow became one of these for Jason through some undetermined supernatural means, explaining why he first came back the night she died. However, since the final shot of the movie is Jason's own decapitated head breathing underwater even after his mother's skull was destroyed, it's possible this is a subversion.

Mother of Learning includes an ancient lich, Quatach-Ichl, with a fairly straightforward setup: a phylactery hidden away and guarded on a distant continent, while he inhabits a resilient but ultimately expendable puppet body. He's all set up with extra bodies, too, so if one is destroyed, he'll be able to possess a new one and be back in action within a day — and he'll be rather annoyed with whoever did it, especially if they loot the crown from his body.

In Loki: Agent of Asgard Verity Willis' soul (well, technically story) got forcibly transferred into a gem on Loki's bracelet. Her body died in the process but she gained an intangible/indestructible ghostly form. This happened because the universe was ending, she was more portable that way and Loki had strange thought processes and consent issues.

Demons in Fred Saberhagen's Empire of the East and Books of Swords universe suffer from this. That is, their "lives" are bound to an inanimate object. While there are other ways of killing them, destroying their lives requires no special skill and is by far the easiest.

Fallout: Equestria:
The zebra Black Book contains spells to manipulate souls. Rarity owned it before the apocalypse, and she discovered that putting even a small slice of a soul in an object rendered the object indestructible. She had the idea to put souls in armor to create invincible soldiers, but Applejack put her hoof down. In addition to the moral question of messing with souls, if it were that easy wouldn't the zebras already be doing it? Applejack asked Rarity to destroy the book and never speak of it again. Rarity did try to destroy the book, but failed; still, she didn't pursue the soul armor project. Unfortunately, the zebras thought she was still working on it. It was part of the reason they launched their final offensive.
The Black Book itself turns out to be the soul jar for the zebra who wrote it, explaining why it's so hard to destroy. Littlepip eventually drops it next to a megaspell that was about to explode. It's never confirmed that this truly destroyed it, but it doesn't show up again in the story.
The Ministry Mare statuettes are a weird example. Rarity split her soul into forty-three pieces, a process that was said to "redefine torture", and put one slice in each of the forty-two statuettes (she kept the last piece of her soul in her own body). She then used a different spell to take "pictures" of her friend's souls and enchanted the statuettes to express these pictures. Touching the statuettes grants a little bit of power based on what each mare found most important, and having all six lets them manifest to Littlepip when she is unconscious and save her from the Black Book. As Littlepip puts it, the statuettes are essentially Rarity doing perfect impressions of her friends.
Cottage Cheese, one of the Steel Ranger Elders, decides to upload his mind to a Crusader Maneframe, and use the Black Book to upload his soul as well. While he fails, it turns out Princess Celestia herself already did something similar, uploading herself to the Crusader Maneframe that was supposed to control the Single Pegasus Project. With it, she would have been able to control the weather and repair the Wasteland following the apocalypse. Unfortunately, she was unaware that all the control interfaces had been disconnected (since Rainbow Dash didn't want an AI in charge of the SPP), leaving Celestia trapped, able only to watch. Thankfully, she gets better.

Ib: The roses carried by the main characters, which also act as a Life Meter in the top corner of the screen; whenever a petal is plucked, wounds open up on the owner's body. This example is also an interesting inversion, as when the human characters are damaged, the rose wilts too. Mary is a straighter example; also has a rose, but it's fake. Her painting is her true Soul Jar; as a painting, she's immortal, but she's reduced to ashes when you burn it.

Naruto:
Kakuzu collects people's hearts and incorporates them into his body. He can also use them to animate minions for him. Whether they are inside or outside his body, he can't die unless they are all destroyed (on one occasion, all but one of his hearts vacate his body. When that one is destroyed, the others return to his body and reanimate him).
The Curse Marks that Orochimaru bestows on certain people actually carry his will, meaning that he can be potentially reborn from the seal of anyone he has given one to.
Filler villain Fuuka keeps her soul in her long hair since her body's chakra capacity was too low, and switches between five identical bodies in battle. Hence, she goes from flirting with Naruto to screaming in anger when Naruto manages to cut some of her hair during their fight, shortly before paralyzing him to stop playing around and steal his chakra and soul with her Reaper Kiss.

The alchemic circle written in blood that binds Alphonse's soul to his armor in Fullmetal Alchemist. Similar circles bind the Slicer brothers and Barry to their armors.

Her undead form cannot be destroyed and will put itself back together so long as she is in possession of the sword but if she get far enough from it she'll lose her connection to the world of the living and die a final death.
The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016): The "Titan" was brought down by breaking off a piece of its gem like "heart", which is actually a container for the souls of a dying world which have become twisted over time in their unnatural confinement.

Skeppy serves as a Type 2 to his friend BadBoyHalo, who has infinite canon lives as long as Skeppy is alive (i.e. has at least one canon life).
Roses seem to serve as Type 1a to Hannah, who feels stronger and healthier when she has them on her person, and falls ill when the Blood Vines contaminate the flowers near her home, even from several thousand blocks away. This is later justified by her being a fairy who derives her power and likely life force from nature.

Harry Potter:
Considered the darkest art of dark magic, Horcruxes are objects, living or inanimate, that a witch or wizard can use to tie themselves to life. In the Potterverse, murder rips one's soul apart since it's the most extreme act of evil, and using that and a specific spell, a witch or wizard can sever a piece of their soul and encase it into something else, creating a Horcrux. As long as that Horcrux exists, even if the body dies, the soul will remain alive, and depending upon the enchantments that the user bewitches the Horcrux with, it can become as much a weapon as a safeguard. It takes a special kind of evil for someone to be willing to make one, as noted by a past Card-Carrying Villain who wrote a book on dark magic but refused to give any instruction on Horcruxes. Even among those willing to make one, none had ever tried to make more than one...until Voldemort, who deliberately made six, causing his soul to grow increasingly unstable in multiple ways as a result, which led to Harry becoming an unintentional seventh Horcrux when Voldemort's soul simply broke apart after his ill-fated attempt to kill Harry as a baby. However, maiming one's soul to such an extent has dire consequences: when Voldemort is finally killed for good, the remaining portion of his soul is left horrifically maimed and trapped in Limbo, unable to move on to the other side.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard gives us "The Warlock's Hairy Heart". A young warlock cuts out his own heart and stores it in a case so he might not ever feel such pesky things as emotion, rather than immortality. Dumbledore's notes draw the comparison to Horcruxes and state that it would be impossible outside of a fairy tale.

The SCP Foundation has SCP-963, a 2b-type amulet that copies the wearer's soul to it upon death and allows them to possess the body of anyone who wears it. Its current user is Dr. Jack Bright, who had the misfortune to be carrying it when he was killed by a rampaging SCP-076-2 and has since led him to possess the bodies of several other people and even inhuman creatures. Fortunately (or unfortunately), 963 is apparently indestructible.
One point to note is that binding your soul to it requires you to be killed by outside circumstances; the original owner tried to do so via suicide, which didn't really take.

For most ghosts in Supernatural, this is just their bones or remains, but some ghosts are attached to an item like a hook, a penny, or a flask. This also applies to demons: As Bobby put it, they're just ghosts with an ego and more powers. So far, all but Knights of Hell seem to be able to be killed this way, including Crowley, the King of Hell, who unlike other demons, has become so different from them that he has a unique smoke cloud, as opposed to the normal black (his is red).
For a more specific example, the Season 12 episode "The One You've Been Waiting For" reveals that the Thule Society stuck Hitler's soul into a pocket watch right before his death, so that he could be resurrected at a later date by transferring his soul into a descendent.

Oblivion offers an exception to the "liches not needing soul jars" that is present in the rest of the series and in background lore. One quest has you attempting to kill a necromancer who is (slowly) transforming into a lich. You can do so by destroying his soul jar, though it is made clear that the soul jar is only necessary for his particular form of transformation, and after the transformation, it will no longer be needed.

Yugi Mutou in Yu-Gi-Oh! is the wielder of the Millennium Puzzle and is the living Soul Jar for his other personality ("Dark Yugi", "King of Games" Pharoah Atem's spirit). Likewise, Ryou Bakura is a living Soul Jar for his own alternate personality from the Millennium Ring (Dark Bakura, spirit of Thief King Bakura). Dark Bakura himself specializes in producing Soul Jars with his Millennium Ring in order to spread his power as needed, and is ultimately revealed to be a Soul Jar himself (for Zorc).
In the Duelist Kingdom arc, Pegasus J. Crawford uses a version of this as a Penalty Game by transferring Sugoroku Mutou's, Mokuba's and Kaiba's souls into inanimate objects. Sugoroku's Soul Jar was a video tape and the Kaiba brothers' Soul Jars were blank playing cards known as 'Soul Prisons' (in the anime, all three were put into Soul Prison cards because Card Games). By doing so, the trapped characters lose all personality and appear to be within a catatonic state. It is unknown completely what happens if the inanimate objects are destroyed or damaged in some way, but it is generally acknowledged that it can't be good.
In the sixth volume of the original manga, there is a one-shot villain who finds a cursed card game called Dragon Cards that seals the loser's soul in a jar. He steals the Millennium Puzzle from Yugi and forces him into a battle. Yugi loses, but manages to get his hands on the puzzle before losing his soul, and Dark Yugi is able to come out and win a rematch.
The idea of characters weaponising the soul jar trope seems to be common in various Yu-Gi-Oh series as it is revisited in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V when at least one faction manages to create technology that can turn people defeated in duels into cards (A process known as carding). One of the antagonists, Yuri, finds pleasure in carding others.
Then in Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS it happens twice. Once with the Tower of Hanoi and again via the Neuron Link. Where the conciousness goes in each of those cases may be unknown. Fortunately, when each is broken, the souls/conciousnesses return to their bodies.

Neon Genesis Evangelion has two different implementations:
Kaworu claims in the director's cut of Episode 24 that he and Rei are soul jars for a couple of Eldritch Abominations codenamed Adam and Lillith
Units 01 and 02 are implied to contain the souls of their pilots' mothers, while anyone's best guess for Unit 00 is that it's a jar for a fragment of Lilith's soul, as there are several implications that Rei/Lilith's soul have been split into at least two fragments.

Lifetimers in the Discworld. In Soul Music, Albert carries his around with him while searching around in the world for the missing Death — a mistake, as he gets mugged and the hourglass shatters. Fortunately for Albert, Death manages to save thirty-eight seconds' worth of time and pour it into a bottle to prevent him from dying (again).
And there's a reverse example in Hogfather, where the Hogfather's lifetimer shatters in response to Teatime's plan to stop children believing in him, thus "killing" him.note Or else it was the stray cats who found their way to Death's Domain, knowing they were sure of a cat-lover who'd feed them. It is noted that several of them had got into the room where Death stores the ''special'' lifetimers...
Also, in Carpe Jugulum the heart in a hidden jar variation is mentioned to be used by magicians in Howondaland so they can't be killed.
There is a literal example of the Soul Jar in Going Postal. Apparently wizards can take a sabbatical year and be temporarily Dead. A pantry just off the kitchen has been adapted into a repository for literal Soul Jars. These are apparently old jam-jars scrounged from the nearby kitchen, each labelled with the name of the temporarily dead Wizard and storing his essence. Mrs. Whitlow, the housekeeper, has insisted each jar now carries a small fetish doll of a wizard to prevent misunderstandings, as apparently a cook in a hurry scrounged what he thought was an empty jar to decant peanut butter into. The fate of that Wizard is un-known but may have included toast.
A non-Lifetimer, non-soul example in Making Money, when Igor moves Owlswick Jenkins's bad memories and anxieties into a turnip, which becomes rotten and partly alive, rolling around its glass enclosure.

The Warlock class from World of Warcraft can create "Soul Stones" that store the target's soul, granting them an instantaneous resurrection should they be killed while the buff is in place. They can only be made if you have "Soul Shards," which is basically the extracted soul of an enemy after it's death.
Liches also sometimes have these, held in some hidden or well-guarded locations. Except for Kel'Thuzad, who carries his with him, possibly because it would be difficult to find a better guard for it than he himself. Or they could just give them all to Arthas, meaning that their enemies would have to win the whole war to kill any of his liches. But Arthas seems to have some strange compulsion to get all his servants killed. This later turns out to be an odd compulsion of human Arthas's pride, trying to train new champions to corrupt.
Arthas' sword, Frostmourne, is a soul jar plus. When Tirion Fordring shatters Frostmourne, it releases the souls of every being it's absorbed, including Arthas' father. Its destruction also leaves Arthas vulnerable to a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown by the raid attacking him as Arthas' soul was bound to the blade from the moment he first picked it up.

Likewise, Yura of the Hair, the first enemy that Inuyasha and Kagome fight after their quest begins, has her soul in a comb. None of the horrible wounds InuYasha inflicts on her are more than a mild inconvenience — until Kagome destroys the comb (which Yura inexplicably led her to), at which point she dissolves.

Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail: In order to make Alain the Dreams component of the Cage of Flauros, part of his soul was trapped in his Honor of Kalos medal which Alex Shepherd is wearing. Once the medal is put in contact with Alain, his soul returns...albeit, he temporarily refuses to wake up. In Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus, the medal still contains Alain's soul but now if Alex places it near Alain's comatose body, Alain temporarily awakens. Moreover, if Alain's soul feels strong emotions — like hearing Professor Sycamore on the train — he can temporarily possess Alex.

In Rise of the Tomb Raider, the main macguffin everyone is looking for is the Divine Source, a large blue crystal that removes/stores the souls of anyone who looks directly at it, curing them of all physical ailments, granting them eternal youth and resurrective immortality, as such being both a soul jar and immortality inducer. It was used to make the entire Army of Kitezh immortal, implying that it can hold an infinite number of souls. Inevitably Lara Croft destroys the Source with the justification of the it not being meant for the world of humans, causing those who stored their souls in it to disintegrate into dust.

Kamen Rider Ghost has Transformation Trinkets called Eyecons, which contain the souls of legendary heroes that the Riders can channel. One of these Eyecons belongs to and hosts the soul of the main character himself, who had the unfortunate case of dying in the first episode; if it's destroyed, he becomes Deader than Dead. Ganma Eyecons also work as Soul Jars with a twist: the Eyecon can manifest the person a new body and as long as their original body is fine, destroying the Eyecon will just send the soul back to the person, and thus they can put the soul into another Eyecon. However, if the person's real body is destroyed, they will either die or be stuck in the Eyecon.

Subverted by Makai Kingdom: Badass Freaking Overlord Zetta is forced to use a book for an impromptu soul jar to save both himself and it when everything else in his Netherworld, including his original body, is destroyed. This essentially leaves him a sentient tome whose lack of arms, legs and a Netherworld is a significant step-down from his previous situation — and to make matters worse, he has no way of returning things to normal on his own. He still has all the Mana he did when he had his body though.

Both sequels to Candyman features at least one of these that's keeping the spirit of the eponymous villain alive:
Annie in Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh comes to learn that before Daniel Robitaille died and became the urban legend Candyman, his soul transferred into a mirror that was being held by his lover Caroline. That mirror must be destroyed in order to defeat him.
In Candyman: Day of the Dead, it turns out that only Candyman's evil side has been vanquished, and his good side is held within a set of paintings, notably his own, and as everybody knows evil can't exist without good, so the paintings have to be destroyed to permanently kill him.

Tolkien's Legendarium:
The One Ring in The Lord of the Rings. It wasn't actually created for this purpose — the Dark Lord Sauron was already an immortal spirit able to take any form he wished. He created it as an Amplifier Artifact that would make his already formidable Mind Control powers strong enough to take over the other rings (and through them, their wearers). But in making the Ring strong enough to control the other rings he had to put so much of his Life Energy into it that as long as the Ring survives he cannot be completely destroyed either.
In The Silmarillion, Morgoth did the same thing with the entire physical universe. Every last atom contains a minuscule fragment of his spirit. Hence why evil endures even though Morgoth was thrust out into the Outer Dark by the Valar: "the whole world is Morgoth's Ring."
Also in the Silmarillion, the eponymous jewels contain a piece of Fëanor's soul that he invested during their creation. This is likely a major part of the reason he's so adamant that he couldn't just give them up and went near insane in his quest to retrieve them from Morgoth. Unlike most examples, due to the way death works for Elves he likely can't actually use them to come back to life.

In Warmachine, the Cryx Empire is able to make Soul Cages. The Iron Liche, Asyphyxious actually cages his own soul, and replaces all but his Skull with a steam and magic powered body. As long as his Soul Cage is intact, he is not really dead.
The Dragons also have a Soul Jar in the form of their Anthanc. The Anthanc contains the essence of the Dragon, and though it can't be stored separately from the dragon's body, even if the rest of the dragon is destroyed, it will live on and eventually regenerate the dragon's body. In addition, an Anthanc is all but indestructible and if it is broken will result in in another dragon forming from the shard (Thought Everblight has found a way to break off parts of his Anthanc and still have it be part of him and not become a separate dragon.) The only known way of permanently killing a dragon is for his Anthanc to be consumed by another dragon.
The Skorne have no afterlife and must instead trap the souls of their dead in enchanted stones if they do not want to lose them to the void. These stones can then be used to animate statues or grant special qualities to objects.

In Turning Red, this is zigzaged with the talismans Mei's female relatives wear. The talismans contain their panda spirits, not their own souls. The panda spirits enter the womens' bodies around the age of puberty, but they then typically undergo a ritual to seal them away. Once the ritual is done, the aunties & cousins cannot transform into giant red pandas unless their talismans are broken, an act which returns the panda spirit to the body. The ritual can be performed again under the right conditions to reseal the panda spirits.

First Kiss at a Spooky Soiree has a variation. Vinegar is deathly ill and wanted to separate her soul from her body in order to be free from her illness as a ghost. However, completely removing her soul would kill her, so she had to leave half of her soul in her body in order for the other half to continue existing. So essentially, Vinegar's ghost half is treating her own body as a soul jar.

Heroes of the Storm:
Murky's Spawn Egg is a sort of these. He can lay it anywhere on the map, and quickly respawns from it whenever he dies unless the egg is killed first. It's kept intentionally vague, but the egg is implied to be magical in some way — and potentially very powerful.
Kel'Thuzad, being a lich, has one in the form of the Urn of Kings, where his corpse was preserved before his resurrection. In-game, it appears as an early-game talent that can be charged by collecting 12 Regen Globes; once charged it gives Kel'Thuzad a Life Drain effect on his spells, and it can be activated on death to instantly respawn at the cost of needing to charge it up again.

Exalted:
The Monstrance of Celestial Portion is a variant on the concept. If a deathknight is killed, his Exaltation — the part that makes him an Exalt — returns to the Monstrance, from which it can be transferred to a new mortal host chosen by the deathknight's master. Without the Monstrance, the shard would wander freely and choose its new host itself. Destroying the Monstrance won't kill the deathknight, but instead free him from his master's control; the trick is that not all of them know this, and may believe it would kill them.
The fetich souls of Primordials also serve as a form of this. The fetich embodies the identity of the Primordial; should it be killed, the Primordial will undergo a major redefinition, which may wind up creating an entity who is entirely different (for all intents and purposes killing the original). Fetich death was feared by the Primordials as the only way of "killing" them (even though another being with certain of their traits will result) until the Solars came along and developed powers that could actually kill them (which, incidentally, had nothing to do with their fetiches).
In the first edition of Exalted, there is also a Solar circle spell which uses a complicated ritual to allow a powerful Exalted sorcerer to store his soul in an artifact.
The Heart Grace of a Shaped Raksh is somewhere between this and a Heart Drive. Like many things about them, it's a bit hard to tell the difference.
The Soulgems that are attached to the forehead of every mortal and Exalted in Autochthonia is a variant that captures the soul upon death, so they can be recycled in a new body. They do this for everyone because their realm has a limited amount of souls available and each city would prefer to keep their population stable. For an Alchemical Exalted to be successfully created, a soulgem containing a heroic soul is needed, so they gather proof of that quality by tracking outstanding deeds across the soul's many lifetimes. Reusing an Alchemical's soul gem straight away is also possible, but not recommended as it may leave them detached from humanity they are supposed to be champions and supporters of.

This doesn't please Maria at all, since she didn't want to be immortal and she has no choice but to obey Lucifer. To demonstrate what happens if she defies her, Lucifer squeezes the heart, crippling Maria with pain.

Revolution and Evolution-R have Rezo the Red Priest return via a soul jar, as well as Naga the Serpent, whose soul has somehow been removed from her body by a malfunctioning soul jar and then given form in a suit of animate armour. This time the Soul Jars are, again, really jars.

Pathfinder has the traditional Liches and Demiliches of D&D, as well as a martial-focused variant known as a Graveknight. Rather than a fancy gem or other valuable item, though, their Soul Jar is the armor that the Graveknight was wearing at the time of their transformation into an undead horror. If the Graveknight is slain and the armor isn't suitably cleansed of its evil magic (far from an easy task, since the exact requirements to cleanse the armor varies between individual Graveknights), it will reform within a few days, even killing any poor sap who happens to be wearing the armor at the time.

Dungeons & Dragons:
This can be done in limited fashion as early as 1st Edition using the magic jar spell. The caster enters a gem or whatever, then swaps with (possesses) someone in range.
AD&D 2nd Edition Al-Qadim
Arabian Adventures sourcebook. The Lifeproof spell allows the caster to remove part of his life force (called the "Shadow of the Heart") and put it in a glass container or crystal. While it's stored there, the caster cannot die from taking Hit Points of damage. If they drop below zero Hit Points while under the spell's effect they become progressively more ugly (lose Charisma).
The "City of Delights" boxed set has the "Hide Heart" spell, which allows the hide-your-heart-in-a-jar stunt for partial immortality... and if cast on someone else, ensures they not only are more likely to survive the mission, but will want to return.
1E adventure C1 The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan. In one room there was a werejaguar who could turn into a statue at will. His heart had been removed and stored in the head of a stuffed tiger nearby. He will apparently die if he takes enough damage, but will be reborn in one day's time unless his heart is destroyed.
The 1E adventure I3 Pharaoh has an Evil high priest named Munafik who magically removed his heart and stored it in a glass jar. The only way to kill him is to destroy the heart.
"Heart of Stone" from Player's Options, where the heart is replaced with a stone duplicate, turning the caster for a year into a not-quite-living being, resistant to any weapons but having problems with healing. Codifies what was done years earlier by the Big Bad in an Expert D&D module The Curse Of Xanathon.
3rd Edition includes the "Hide Life" spell, which has much the same effects, but is written to duplicate the Prydain variant.
Amulet of Life Protection — stored the user's soul for a week after death to ease the resurrection, protected from magic jar and suchlike. The Locket of the Great Kingdom from Greyhawk did much the same, but the dead user could use magic jar and raise a basic, mindless undead creature that would be easy to possess.
Powerful spellcasters can undergo a dark ritual to become mighty undead known as Liches by storing their soul in a phylactery. If their body is destroyed but the phylactery isn't, they eventually reanimate. Well-illustrated in the D&D parody webcomic The Order of the Stick, where the Big Bad, Xykon, is a pretty standard lich who does indeed regenerate from a phylactery — body part by body part over quite a few strips. A more advanced and ancient form of liches exist known as demiliches, whose bodies have disintegrated away to a single part of the skeleton (usually a hand or skull) embedded with "soul gems" that give them additional powers. Both the phylactery and the soul gems must be destroyed to keep the lich dead, though the latter is fairly trivial. In some sources the Demilich itself is said to be a Soul Jar, the actual lich having evolved into a spirit that spends most of its time on the Astral Plane; it's just a Soul Jar that wakes up and kills you if you mess with it. However, Liches must feed souls to their phylactery in order to maintain their existence. If they don't, they become a different kind of Demilich that's much weaker than the lich was due to having lost their mind and spellcasting. Their phylactery still needs destroyed to put them down for good, however.
A mummy lord's heart works similar to a lich's phylactery, but since mummy lords were generally high priests of evil gods in life, they usually wield divine magic rather than arcane magic. Said hearts are also capable of regrowing the mummy lord's body and immune to anything except fire damage.
Among Ravenloft darklords, Soul Jars are possessed not only by Azalin the lich, but also Stezen D'Polarno, whose soul is bound to a painting, and Hazlik, whose Soul Jar works like a Horcrux. They're not the only darklords who won't stay dead easily, mind: they're just ones who happen to use Jars to come back. In some cases, a Ravenloft domain is, itself, a Soul Jar for its darklord.
Forgotten Realms sourcebooks and novels featured a few spellcasting or magic-manipulating items powered by the trapped spirits of wizards. So a Wizard Wand doesn't just release pre-set charges on a command until it's dry, it can memorize (after a rest) spells from a spellbook or a scroll to cast when requested, at the trapped wizard's level. Magisters upon death or retirement (usually it's the same) may choose to have their spirits placed into magic items, turning these into borderline artefacts.
Dungeon magazine #50 adventure "The Object of Desire". In the Back Story, the evil wizard Nazir Al-Azrad turned his daughter to stone and put his heart inside her statue. This makes him invulnerable to damage unless his heart is returned to his body or the statue is destroyed.
White Dwarf magazine #72 adventure "The Necklace of Brisingamen". One of the mummies the Player Characters encounter is Arun-al-Cosack. He has placed his heart in a Glassteeled container with a magical Force Field to protect it. If the Player Characters can break through the protection, the heart will explode and Arun-al-Cosack will be Reduced to Dust.

In the Apprentice Adept series, the harmonica Stile first summons to use for his magic turns out to be the one created by his doppelganger, Adept Blue. We find out later, it stores Blue's soul (Blue arranged to put his soul there after allowing Red's booby trapped amulet to strangle him). Later still, Adept Brown builds a flesh golem for Blue's soul to inhabit... which Stile ends up in at the end of the Phaze/Photon-saving scheme (Don't worry, this is actually a good thing).

There is a literal example of the Soul Jar in Going Postal. Apparently wizards can take a sabbatical year and be temporarily Dead. A pantry just off the kitchen has been adapted into a repository for literal Soul Jars. These are apparently old jam-jars scrounged from the nearby kitchen, each labelled with the name of the temporarily dead Wizard and storing his essence. Mrs. Whitlow, the housekeeper, has insisted each jar now carries a small fetish doll of a wizard to prevent misunderstandings, as apparently a cook in a hurry scrounged what he thought was an empty jar to decant peanut butter into. The fate of that Wizard is un-known but may have included toast.

The Legend of Zelda:
In some games, you can capture a Poe's soul in an empty bottle.
In Twilight Princess, Ganondorf and Zant are each other's soul jars. After Ganondorf "houses [his] power" in Zant, you can't kill one without killing the other. Zant's neck snaps by itself as soon as Ganondorf dies.
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Ganondorf cannot die as long as he has the Triforce of Power, and after Link defeats him for the first time he resurrects himself and turns into Ganon. Even after he's Sealed Evil in a Can he promises to return someday.
In Majora's Mask, Link has three masks that contain the souls of a deceased Deku, Goron, and Zora. You get the Goron and Zora masks by sealing their souls away by playing a song to "ease their pain".. In doing that, you don't just seal them, you TURN THEIR VERY SOULS into masks.
Jalhalla in The Wind Waker is a ghost who houses fifteen smaller ghosts within, making him both this trope and an Asteroids Monster.
In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Purah Pad became this when Zelda brought it accidentally with her to the past and was later used by Mineru to house her spirit into it (as she had sustained grave life-threatening injuries during her battle against Ganondorf) to assist Link in the future as a Guest-Star Party Member by taking control of a special construct she herself made, itself being a Soul Jar but allowing Mineru to fight.

Phantasy Star Online: Dark Falz can use the player characters as soul jars. While bound to a character, any damage dealt to Falz will be inflicted to the character instead (even if said character is under the status of "invincible"). The players can either wait for the binding to wear off before continuing their attack, or just let the bound character die to break the link and make Falz vulnerable to damage immediately.

Tales of Elethiya has a type of demon, or dark angel, called the roahn-ami who has on its body silver skull canisters which they use to hold the souls they steal. In the first book of the series, Rigo is able to grab a set of skulls off a roahn-ami while he's in battle with it. The heroes are then faced with the question of what to do with the souls inside.

The One Ring in The Lord of the Rings. It wasn't actually created for this purpose — the Dark Lord Sauron was already an immortal spirit able to take any form he wished. He created it as an Amplifier Artifact that would make his already formidable Mind Control powers strong enough to take over the other rings (and through them, their wearers). But in making the Ring strong enough to control the other rings he had to put so much of his Life Energy into it that as long as the Ring survives he cannot be completely destroyed either.

Warehouse 13: Some of the artifacts contain more of their original owner's personality than others.
First shown in the Pilot, Lucrezia Borgia's hair comb channels Lucrezia's personality, desires, and her gifts of influence into its wearer.
Lewis Carroll's mirror, the inspiration of Through the Looking Glass, is more of a soul prison: Alice Liddell is trapped inside and can only escape by imprisoning someone else in her place. And in an unusual case for this trope, shattering the mirror doesn't seem to result in any ill effects for whoever's trapped inside.
A coin with the image of the Roman God Janus erases the memories of anyone who holds it, storing them like data on a computer disc. Holding the coin again reverses the effects. Near the end of Season 3, it's revealed that this is how the Regents punished H.G. Wells, giving her body a false identity while using a special projector to access her consciousness.
The most traditional example is Johann Maelzel's metronome. By going through a life-threatening ritual, a person can use it to bring a deceased person back to life and make them unable to die or feel pain so long as the metronome keeps ticking. Aside from the obvious weakness that stopping the metronome kills them in less than a minute, whoever used the metronome feels all the pain that the revived person was supposed to. It's not completely clear exactly how breaking the spell works, but the key component is a mother's love.

Tales of Kolmar has the Demonlord survive via the spell of the Distant Heart. His heart was removed, turned to stone, and hidden under a mountain by demons. His soul went to the demons. As long as heart, body, and soul were not all in one he couldn't really be killed, and even then only by something that had dragon and human blood both.
There's also the soulgems of dragons. They each have a gem in their forehead; after death it's collected and a Kin-Summoner can make them glow steadily and call the deceased back to speak through them for a time, but otherwise the dragons are truly dead and believed to have some kind of afterlife. Soulgems of the Lost, those struck down by the Demonlord, can't be used to summon and flicker with a faint and constant light. When they're restored in Redeeming the Lost we see that some of them were asleep, some came in and out of consciousness, some were awake the whole time.

The idea of characters weaponising the soul jar trope seems to be common in various Yu-Gi-Oh series as it is revisited in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V when at least one faction manages to create technology that can turn people defeated in duels into cards (A process known as carding). One of the antagonists, Yuri, finds pleasure in carding others.

In Paper Mario, the boss Tubba Blubba was made invincible by removing his heart and hiding it. Mario finds the heart and tries to destroy it, only to prompt Tubba to reunite with his heart... which costs him his invincibility, and allows Mario to (very easily) defeat him.

In Howl's Moving Castle (the original book), two characters have made deals with fire demons wherein the fire demon gets the mortal's heart, letting the fire demon live, and greatly extending the mortal's life and giving them access to the fire demon's power. This ties the two together (one dies, both die), so it's not as useful as a normal Soul Jar, but the heart does act as a Soul Jar, in that you destroy it, you destroy them.

The Dark Elf in Final Fantasy IV was doing this with the Crystal of Earth. As long as the Crystal is on his pedestal and not the usual one, he could regenerate. (He comes back again in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.)

The Tales of Beedle the Bard gives us "The Warlock's Hairy Heart". A young warlock cuts out his own heart and stores it in a case so he might not ever feel such pesky things as emotion, rather than immortality. Dumbledore's notes draw the comparison to Horcruxes and state that it would be impossible outside of a fairy tale.

And there's a reverse example in Hogfather, where the Hogfather's lifetimer shatters in response to Teatime's plan to stop children believing in him, thus "killing" him.note Or else it was the stray cats who found their way to Death's Domain, knowing they were sure of a cat-lover who'd feed them. It is noted that several of them had got into the room where Death stores the ''special'' lifetimers...

In The Death Gate Cycle, Haplo manages to expel his soul from his body and turn it into a dog — entirely by accident. There's probably some deep philosophical implication to the fact that whenever Haplo neglected his soul for too long, it would sneak off and pilfer sausages, but it was never investigated within the story.

Dragons from Dragon: The Embers have the ability to remove their Heart. In their case, it makes them immortal, as whatever happens to their physical form, they will be able to reform from wherever the Heart is. The downside is that they will die instantly if something happens to it, and more importantly, eating a Dragon's Heart is how a mortal can become a dragon of his own. This causes Dragons to frequently sink into paranoia, knowing that all it would take for their immortal life to end is a mortal finding and eating their Heart.

In the 1974 film Phantom of the Paradise (which is a fusion pastiche of Dorian Gray, The Phantom of the Opera, Faust and several other stories), evil record producer/promoter Swan (played by Paul Williams) keeps a videotape of himself making a Deal with the Devil; his image on the tape ages, but he does not. The tape also represents the physical contract of that deal; both he and the titular Phantom (whom he tricks into making a deal of his own) are immortal while their contracts are intact. At the climax, the Phantom finds the tape as well as the contracts Swan forced him and the other musicians to sign. He burns the lot of them, killing Swan — but unfortunately killing himself in the process.

Pony POV Series has the Chaos Six have this in Dark World thanks to the Elements of Chaos that Discord replaced their hearts with. So long as the Elements aren't destroyed (not an easy task) or removed while they're still whole, they have Complete Immortality and will heal from any wound they receive, including being reduced to their Element. Thankfully, those that pull a Heel–Face Turn retain it, though it's not a Game-Breaker since their enemies include the remaining three Chaos Six, the Valeyard (who has since upgraded his Regenerations into full Resurrective Immortality via a Soul Jar of his own in the form of a regeneration template), and Discord and his little sister Rancor.

Old Kingdom:
In Sabriel, Kerrigor uses his original mortal body as his anchor in the world of the living (he usually exists either as pure spirit or uses a magically created vessel), and so long as it exists he can never fully be banished from the world. Kerrigor retakes his body at the climax in order to keep Sabriel from destroying it, and is shortly after bound to eternal slumber while still inside it, leading to its destruction as it shreds against the binding ring.
Goldenhand reveals that Chlorr of the Mask, another Free Magic sorcerer/necromancer-turned-Greater Dead Adept, also used this means, hiding her original body in the Eldritch Location beyond the Great Rift in the far north. In fact, as she is centuries older than Kerrigor, it's implied she may have taught him the trick in the first place.

In 3×3 Eyes, a "Wu" is the formerly-human servant of a member of the mystical, three-eyed Sanjiyan race. The Sanjiyan holds onto the Wu's soul, meaning that, as long as the Sanjiyan survives, the Wu will just regenerate from all damage. The main character Yakumo Fujii is a newly created Wu, bonded to the Sanjiyan Pai, and he learns just how immortal he is the hard way — many, many times. To the point where the series could be summarized as "Yakumo is coughing up blood AGAIN."

In Legend of the Five Rings, the Bloodspeaker Iuchiban achieved immortality by cutting out his own heart and hiding it away in a box, but is eventually defeated when Isawa Sezaru destroys the heart. Later, a servant of Big Bad Daigotsu was forced to undergo the same procedure. This "Ceremony of the Hidden Heart" was originally developed by foreign sorcerers of the Burning Sands. The big drawback is, of course, that if someone gets a hold of your heart-box they can kill you as easily as they would cut up a steak. A great deal of the intrigue in the city of Medinat al-Salaam involved finding, stealing, or destroying these hidden hearts.

Karla, the Grey Witch in Record of Lodoss War. Her soul is actually housed in a circlet with two red eyes embedded in it. The exact circumstances by which she ended up in this state are unclear, but she can possess anyone wearing the circlet, and she does seem able to move alone to some limited degree so as to possess someone else, such as when she was forced off Leylia and had to switch over to Woodchuck. In the manga, Karla's circlet is apparently unable to move at all. Woodchuck takes up the circlet willingly out of self-loathing.

Magic: The Gathering:
The Lich's Mastery card essentially becomes one's Soul Jar type 1-1 a: The user cannot lose the game as long as Lich's Mastery remains on the field. The main weaknesses to this card are as fallows: 1: The opponent can still win the game; 2: If Lich's Mastery leaves the field, the user loses; and 3: losing life means exiling cards from the user's hand, graveyard, and/or side of the field for life point lost, and eventually, Lich's Mastery itself which will result in the user's defeat.
Lich and Lich's Tomb are your Soul Jars, while Nefarious Lich and Immortal Coil stash your life in your graveyard.
The Phylactery Lich turns one of your artifacts into a Soul Jar, and dies if the artifact is destroyed.
Platinum Angel is a Type 1b Soul Jar, albeit a very vulnerable one (she is both an artifact and a creature, and every single color in the game has a method of destroying one or the other fairly easily). Abyssal Persecutor is the inverse of Platinum Angel, in that it's effectively a Soul Jar for your opponent as a way to counter the card's otherwise excessive strengths. Since Persecutor is so powerful, it will likely become a Type 1a Soul Jar very quickly, forcing your opponent to protect your card just to ensure his survival. Playing both cards means the game is effectively halted until one of them dies.
The dark wizard Mairsil managed to survive his death by hiding his consciousness within a ring, within which he endured for another two thousand years.

Among Ravenloft darklords, Soul Jars are possessed not only by Azalin the lich, but also Stezen D'Polarno, whose soul is bound to a painting, and Hazlik, whose Soul Jar works like a Horcrux. They're not the only darklords who won't stay dead easily, mind: they're just ones who happen to use Jars to come back. In some cases, a Ravenloft domain is, itself, a Soul Jar for its darklord.

In the very first Ultima game, Mondain the Evil Wizard has done this with his Black Gem. When you finally fight him, you see him in the process of making it. You can continually "kill" him, but it won't count and he keeps getting back until you've done so after destroying the Gem. Similarly, in Ultima V, the Shadowlords who were born from the shards of that Gem cannot be permanently killed unless their individual shard is destroyed at the same time they're immersed in the Flame of the opposite Principle of Virtue.

In the Malazan Book of the Fallen, a so-called Finnest is an object used as a repository of power (and occasionally actual souls) by the Jaghut, although some non-Jaghut have taken up the practise as well. The most often seen use for this in the series has been to store the power/soul of someone dangerously powerful and vicious in a Finnest in order to be able to imprison them, as such beings tend to be nigh unkillable if not outright immortal, and the Jaghut prefer to take care of their own homegrown problems. Objects used for the purpose can be as varied as an acorn or a dagger.

Antipodes: Tantalus stored the soul of his current body inside a crystal, which the sequel explicitly calls a phylactery. He cannot be killed permanently as long as the crystal is intact, as he will simply reform even if utterly annihilated, but if the crystal is broken he will die instantly.

In Robin Jarvis' Hagwood trilogy, the evil High Lady of Hollow Hill, Rhiannon, has removed her heart from her body and placed it in an enchanted casket. The only way to kill her is to unlock the casket with the key specially made for it and then stab the heart.

In Captain Sindbad, Evil Overlord El Kerim is functionally immortal (or at least unkillable) because his heart has been removed and entombed in a block of ice, which he keeps in an Evil Tower of Ominousness in the jungle, guarded by a Giant Hand of Doom. In order to kill Kerim and avert the execution of Princess Jana, Sindbad must climb the tower and stab the heart to kill the villain. In a subversion, it's actually the comedic wizard Galgo who ends up disposing of the heart by chucking it out of the tower.

In Morrowind, The Heart of Lorkhan acts as a Soul Jar for the Tribunal and Dagoth Ur. Unbinding it renders them all mortal, as the heart is what gave them their divinity in the first place, and it also means they will eventually die naturally, but they are already mortal and can be killed. In fact, the expansion Tribunal reveals that one of them is already dead and culminates with you killing another. (You can also kill the third one in the vanilla game if you choose, though this he was left alive canonically in series' lore, disappearing several years after the events of the game.)

In Russian fairy tales like Tsarevich Petr and the Wizard or The Death of Koschei the Deathless, Koschei the Immortal (resp. Koschei the Deathless) hid his death in the eye of a needle, hid the needle inside an egg, hid the egg inside a duck, hid the duck inside a hare, then locked the hare in an iron box and buried the box under a tree on the vanishing island of Buyan. The tree, hare and duck are destroyed with the help of a few Androcles Lions. Other variants of this include "The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body", "The Young King Of Easaidh Ruadh," and "What Came Of Picking Flowers."

Pirates of the Caribbean:
In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the titular "Dead Man's Chest" holds the heart of Davy Jones. After being scorned by his love, Jones ripped his heart out and sealed it away, which apparently granted him his incredible powers and immortality.
In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, it's revealed that putting your heart in the chest is actually a requirement for being captain of the Flying Dutchman. The captain certainly needs the immortality to be able to seek out and ferry the souls of the dead to the afterlife.
Jones probably started the tradition — the real reason he tore out his heart and put it in the chest was that so he wouldn't have to feel anymore, because he was supposed to ferry the souls of the dead for ten years and then be released when he returned to his lover; when his lover wasn't there, dooming him to at least ten more years and possibly eternity until his own death, he was so heartbroken he did the heart thing. The immortality was probably an unforeseen side effect, although now any poor schlub who takes the job has to do it.
And for a while it actually was in a jar. A jar of dirt, to be exact.

In Warhammer 40,000, the Eldar race carry Soul Stones on their persons, to avoid their Souls being consumed by Slannesh, the Great Devourer, upon their deaths. These Soul Stones are then transferred to the Infinity Circuit upon the death of the eldar carrying it where their soul is released. To help, among other things, guide the younger eldar, and power their Craftworld. In times of great need these Souls can be called back from the Infinity Circuit and placed into man-sized or huge constructs known as Wraith Guard and Wraith Lords respectively. The construct bodies can be destroyed but as long as the Soul Stone is intact, so is the soul. The Necron consist of an entire army of soul jars, each Necron unit containing the soul of a Necron. Unfortunately, that means every time a Necron is damaged and repaired it loses a fragment of its soul.

Supplement The Grimoire. Free Spirits can have the power called Hidden Life. It allows the spirit to hide its Life Energy in a place or thing. As long as this is the case, the spirit cannot be permanently banished or destroyed (even if an opponent knows its True Name) and its physical form gains the power of Regeneration.
Supplement ''Mob War!". The sorcerer Su Cheng is a vampire who has used his Hidden Life power to hide his soul in an ancient Chinese vase. The PC's task is to steal the vase from the Triads and return it to Su Cheng so he can be free of their control.

In Mistborn: The Original Trilogy, the Lord Ruler's bracers hold his youth and vitality, making him into an immortal Implacable Man. These are an interesting example, though, as they must be in physical contact with him at all times for him to benefit from the stored energy. When Vin yanks them off during the final battle, the Lord Ruler instantly collapses and begins to age into a withered old man. He's dead in minutes.

In the Conan the Barbarian RPG, one of the abilities available to the Sorcerer class is the Picture of Corruption, and it's basically one great big Shout-Out to The Picture of Dorian Gray. The picture takes damage and "Corruption" for the sorcerer, but the sorcerer constantly has to check the picture. If it's destroyed, they immediately age to however old they ought to be, and take all the damage stored in the painting.

In Diablo II, the only way to ensure that the three Prime Evils never return to the mortal world is to destroy their Soulstones. Of course, the only reason the Soulstones exist to begin with is because the Evils somehow convinced the world that using them would do this. Bad Evils! Or, if Izual is to be believed, it's actually a gambit on the part of good manipulating evil, not evil manipulating good. The original plan was to imprison the Evils in the Soulstones so that they would not return to Hell upon death. But Izual betrayed Heaven by filling in the Evils on how to corrupt the Soulstones and helped the Prime Evils mastermind their own exile into Sanctuary, setting up the events of the series proper.

In the Duelist Kingdom arc, Pegasus J. Crawford uses a version of this as a Penalty Game by transferring Sugoroku Mutou's, Mokuba's and Kaiba's souls into inanimate objects. Sugoroku's Soul Jar was a video tape and the Kaiba brothers' Soul Jars were blank playing cards known as 'Soul Prisons' (in the anime, all three were put into Soul Prison cards because Card Games). By doing so, the trapped characters lose all personality and appear to be within a catatonic state. It is unknown completely what happens if the inanimate objects are destroyed or damaged in some way, but it is generally acknowledged that it can't be good.

The Sacred Urn in the Ace Attorney series is said to contain the soul of Ama Fey, founder of the Fey clan and inventor of the Kurain Channeling Technique, and that the clan's spiritual powers will last for as long as the soul is inside the jar. That said, Mia Fey refers to this as a "fairy tale" and considering that there's at least three confirmed cases of the jar being smashed to pieces and sloppily reassembled, with no apparent ill-effects on the clan's ability to channel spirits, it's heavily implied she's right.

Type Moon example: Zouken Matou is a worm-user whose body is made completely of (you guessed it) worms. So long as he keeps his worms fed and the master worm containing his soul is safe, killing his apparent body does nothing, as it can be replaced with more worms, though by this time in Fate/stay night his magic is reaching its limit, and he will eventually be unable to sustain the amount of humans he needs to consume to stay alive. His mind and soul have also decayed to the point where he doesn't even remember why he wants to be immortal.

Once Upon a Time:
Several sorcerers are able to remove people's hearts and keep them. They can use the hearts to control their owners or crush them to kill them instantly. Cora, the Queen of Hearts and one of the Arc Villains of the show, removed her own heart and keeps it in a concealed box. Doing so is actually the reason she is so relentlessly evil.
Regina nearly does this in the second half of Season 3, believing it will be easier to live without a heart than with her broken one, but is convinced otherwise. She ends up going through with it anyways, but only to prevent the current Arc Villain, the Wicked Witch of the West, from obtaining it in the aforementioned method.

Their soul is transferred to the Eldunari as they spit it up, but it remains linked to their body, allowing them to control it remotely while staying in contact with whoever they'd entrusted the gem to. Unfortunately, those gemstones are a source of great magical power and a favorite collectible for bad guys to hoard (the older the dragon was when the gem was spat up, the bigger and more powerful it is). They also don't actually increase the natural lifespan of the dragon, since they're already immortal; the Eldunari simply acts as a backup if the original dies. Not a very desirable one either; upon death the dragon seems to be put in a state of virtually absolute isolation and impotence, retaining only the ability to communicate via telepathy.

Anastasia: Rasputin sells his soul to the underworld in return for the demonic powers to enact his curse on the Romanov family. His body can still die, but he just ends up undead in limbo. He can only move into the afterlife if his curse is complete. What's bizarre about this, is he literally sold his soul for the MacGuffin. If his reliquary is destroyed, he ceases to exist. Trying to analyze this, or explain how a person's soul can be both simultaneously transplanted and substituted, for something that's not a soul, causes an ontological nightmare.

In The Riftwar Cycle, Leso Varen has one. In a moment of Lampshade Hanging, Pug remarks that it could be any object, not just a jar; it turns out to be a jar. In subsequent books, it is revealed that Varen has multiple Soul Jars in a number of locations across Midkemia and Kelewan.

GURPS 4th Edition has three variants of this: Soul Stones, which make the wizard immortal so long as the stone is intact; Soul Jars, which allow the wizard to move their consciousness to the jar if their body dies, and Soul Golem, which allows the wizard to put their soul into the body of a magical Humongous Mecha. Note that these Soul Jars comprise a "2b" version of the trope: killing the jarred character does destroy their body, and they can't automatically come back. However, the Soul Jar does house their spirit, leaving open the possibility that they or someone else can use another power to bring them back.

In Daggerfall, the Underking's soul is bound to the Mantella, a soul gem used to control the reality warping Humongous Mecha, the Numidium. As long as the Mantella exists, so will the Underking. Subverted in that The Underking is looking for the Mantella to destroy it — he wants to die, and does not care about the Numidium, which the other powers in the game seek to awaken for their own purposes. (He was the one who tried to destroy it in the first place.)

Ars Magica supplement Lion of the North.
One of the gruagach Virtues is External Soul, which allows the user to extract his soul from his body and place it in an object, which is then placed in a safe place. While this is in effect they cannot be killed unless the object is destroyed first.
The giants known as famhairan a'falach are the original source of gruagachan magic. They can remove their hearts (which contain their souls) from their chests and hide them in a safe place, with the same benefit as above (can't be killed unless the heart is destroyed).

Star Trek: Voyager has an interesting case with The Doctor and his mobile emitter. As a hologram, he is physically invulnerable, so villains must therefore target the mobile emitter he wears on his arm in order to exist outside of sickbay/holodeck. Stealing or deactivating it is a common way to incapacitate him.

Legends of Tomorrow:
After Ray's body is possessed by Neron, Nora and Constantine manage to rescue his soul from Hell. However, since Neron is still residing in Ray's body, the only form Ray's soul can take in the material world is as one of the coins demons use to barter souls back and forth.
In Season 5, the Encores make a more traditional use of the concept. Having returned to Earth from Hell, they can't be killed (at least, not with traditional weapons) so long as their Soul Coins are still safely in Hell's vault.

BlazBlue:
The Susano'o Unit serves as this for multiple people. The unit is a mechanical suit of armor that requires whoever enters into it have their soul installed into it, not their body. Terumi was an A.I. within the unit then gained sentience, but he ejected himself from it long before the Dark War, becoming a literal ghost. Later on, the storyline shows that a dying Jin was transferred into the unit by Rachel, becoming the future member of the Six Heroes Hakumen. The reason Terumi chose not to stay within the Susano'o unit was that he was trying to destroy Amaterasu, and remaining within it would bind him to the very Master Unit he was antagonizing.
The soul of one of the other Six Heroes, Trinity, is contained in her Nox Nyctores.
As a ghost, Terumi's existence is not stable by itself and he has to rely on a series of living vessels to inhabit. His current vessel at the time the plot starts is named Hazama, although other media in the franchise has shown other vessels such as Kazuma during the Dark War. Separated from his vessels, Terumi would not live very long — long enough, though.

The Arithmancer: In addition to the canon Potterverse Horcrux, an attempted ritual to remove the Horcrux from Harry's scar ends up with Harry and Ginny as White Magic Horcruces (later dubbed Miracruces) for each other. This links them spiritually and mentally, gives them splitting headaches if they spend too long apart and (though this was never tested) would in theory allow one of them to persist beyond and return from death as long as the other lives.

Main villain XANA is an informatic version of this: since he is an A.I., he requires a computer storing his data to survive, meaning he will disappear if the computer is shut down. He solves the problem in Season 4 by infecting hundreds of supercomputers all over the world to store his data.
Later extends this to the Lyoko Warriors themselves in Code Lyoko: Evolution.

Babylon 5 has Soul Hunters, beings who seek to preserve knowledge and wisdom by capturing and maintaining the souls of the dying. This causes serious issues with the Minbari, who believe that their souls are reincarnated in the bodies of later generations of Minbari (and there is some evidence — although not perfect evidence — to believe that this is literally true), and that the Soul Hunters' preservation process prevents that reincarnation.

Hellsing Alucard's coffin is implied to act as this for him. He appears to require a certain proximity to it in order to access his higher powers (as evidenced by his needing to take it with him on missions where he is expected to use his greater powers), and it appears to be an extension of himself in some manner (such as when it sprouted limbs and eyes during Hellsing: The Dawn and carried him away from battle when he came under threat). He is also highly protective of it. Plus, it contains his army of familiars, which are the basis of his Nigh-Invulnerability; as long as they are in the coffin, he possesses their collective life force making him extremely difficult to kill, and even when they are out of it he can defer his own injuries to them (at the cost of gradually destroying them). Whether this is the case for all higher level vampires or was a part of the measures Hellsing initiated in order to keep him under control is unclear.

In Dragon Knights, Rath is a living version; it's basically his role in the plot and why the villains want him so badly. He gets most of the extra souls he never asked for extracted from him eventually and they're resurrected. This seems to happen especially when he kills someone himself, but it's not required.
