A magic circle could hold an undead. Moving it is a different issue, but it could hold it for a while. Probably you’re looking at homebrewing an item or spell.
Yeah, this is 100% going to be homebrew, since there's no item designed to fulfill that function.
That said, I personally like the idea of using a Ghost Lantern, as Mog recommended, as that particular magic item very specifically contains a trapped spirit. Logically, the spirit had to get in there somehow... I'm sure some combination of skill checks and abilities could be used to create something like that.
So, the goal is to seal a Ghost. In a box. Then Chuck that bad boi into an ocean.
We thought about Mage Hand as our ghost holder.
It's spectral, but we can't decide on how much a ghost weighs (if anything).
Looking for spells and items that might work better?
None of the following are designed to do that, but you should look at them:
Spells: Magic Jar, Soul Cage (Xanther's Guide), Summon Undead (Tasha's Cauldron)
Items: Ring of Mind Shielding, Ghost Lantern (Tomb of Annihilation)
