Still Soul Jar but downplayed. since losing it doesn't entirely kill them.
Although "mortal tether" might be a trope somewhere to describe objects being a conduit.

I am writing a series in which amusement rides function as vessels for characters to exist, as they are the physical manifestation of their ride's spirit and energy. The rides existing are what allow the characters to be able to interact with humans, and do things like eat and do other things humans do.
If the ride in question is in the process of being demolished, the spirit can be sealed in an object and can be re-released. However, if the ride doesn't exist anymore, they are severely limited in what they can do.
For example, while the ride exists, they can eat, drink, interact with humans, and leave the bounds of their park, none of which they can do if the ride no longer exists. The ride essentially allows them to have a body; without the ride, they are only a soul/spirit.
What trope would this be?
