Edit PLEASE READ: This ISN'T about the basics of how to not move for "don't move" mechanics which would be sheathing, untargeting, self-targeting, pressing Escape, etc. It's about how AUTO-FACING can cause you to "move" and how sheathing, untargeting, self-targeting, pressing Escape DOESN'T cancel auto-facing as proven in this short 34 second video
. If you're not going to read the entire thread at least read this.
I've heard people say that the Invoked Succubus's "don't move" Pyretic in PT floors 81-90 can trigger from an incense fairy, Pilgrim's Potion, job summons, or just seemingly randomly as if it were a bug. What I'm pretty sure is the cause is due to your character "moving" from auto-facing.
This video of my friend circling around my character shows how auto-facing works. When you use a targeted action on a target(ally or enemy), your character will continuously turn/auto-face towards that target. This continuous turning counts as "moving" for any "don't move" mechanic. Even if the target of your auto-facing moves towards you in a straight line you will still be "moving" due to auto-facing. This is what can happen with Invoked Succubus's Pyretic. The mob will give you Pyretic then after giving you Pyretic it'll move towards you. If your auto-facing remains, the mob will move towards you during Pyretic which kills you because you're "moving" due to auto-facing. Pressing the Escape key, sheathing your weapon, untargeting, targeting your own character WILL NOT cancel auto-facing as shown in the video. The only way to cancel auto-facing is by moving your character(even just slightly) AFTER any targeted action.
This video shows tests with Invoked Succubus's Pyretic.
1st test: I sheathe weapon and press the Escape key but because this doesn't cancel auto-facing I die.
2nd test: I sheathe weapon and untarget but because this doesn't cancel auto-facing I die.
3rd test: I sheathe weapon and target my own character but because this doesn't cancel auto-facing I die.
4th/5th/6th: All I do is move AFTER a targeted action to cancel auto-facing and this lets me survive the last 3 tests. Pilgrim's Potion regen is being used to prove it doesn't trigger Pyretic.

Moving your character after a targeted action is a good habit to make when dealing with any "don't move" mechanic. Even if the enemy/boss can't move, you can still trigger auto-facing towards your own allies with party member targeted actions.
