Are there any spells that affect an enemies ability to use reactions, that don't carry the Mental trait.
In other words, is it possible to affect an opponent that is immune to Mental effects.in such a way as to prevent reactions?

I don't immediately recall a "the target cannot take reactions" result on a non-mental spell. But a target that is Stunned can't act, and therefore can't take reactions. So a target that critically failed against Stormburst, for example, which is not Mental.

You "in other words" seems to not limit it to spells, though. If you include non-spell effects, there are some things that specifically prevent reactions without going through another condition, like Scoundrel Rogue's Tactical Debillitations, or a Marshal with Devrin's Cunning Stance.
