How to discretely sustain a plasma life-form?

I have some plasma life forms that have evolved within the photosphere of a star and also capable of existing on a neutron star and the ergoshpere or accretion disk of a blackhole.

This lifeform could be contained within high powered magnets, such as in a tokomak fusion reactor but I am wondering if there is a way I can have these life-forms existing in other environments.

I assume they would need extremely high temperatures and enough gas to feed them, as well as very powerful magnets to stop them diffusing into the available space.

As another means of concentrating the matter it was suggested to me that dielectric stacks could be used to reflect the plasma within a set of reflectors, this is part of the initial evolution, that they formed competing patterns to evade a cancelation pattern, set up by a civilization that was harvesting energy from a star. This will likely not be the final reason for their evolution but I did find it an interesting idea.

How can I have these plasma beings exist in other environments other than the suitable ones stated, such as it moving through space, inside a spaceship or on a planet with earth-like conditions. I don't mind the severe radiation and danger to anything around it.

whether it is a natural solution or more likely a technological solution I would like this beings to not be obscured by a large magnetic confinement like a tokomak, If possible a discrete arrangement of internal or external magnets or reflectors and other discrete technology to maintain it.

so my question is what is the minimum amount of technology to confine a human sized volume of plasma ? and could the technology be portable so they could exist like other life-forms in different environments.
