Where was high attack power included in an RPG definition for tank? Usually an RPG's tank is purely defensive, with room for attack or support for flavoring. High attack would usually be called DPS.Hmmm.... How about Wrecking Balls of Magic?
But I did see the word "tank" being used as a general RPG term for Classes that have high attack power and high defense power. So heavy armored machines that can wreck holes in the walls just by charging at it, does fit the descriptions somehow like . . . Muscleman of Steel.
Which is a good comparison, really. If you were in another world where classes were a thing, or something similar, nobody would have a class called 'Magic DPS'. They would be a Sorcerer, or a Black Mage or whatever. That's why 'Magic Tank' is off. You would swap Tank for Knight, Guardian, Protector, Warrior, something like that. Muscleman of Steel is fine, since it makes some kind of sense.
What I meant before though, is that the term Tank, meaning an Armored Vehicle, is a code word. It's effectively slang. Calling an armored vehicle (or someone who resembles an armored vehicle) a tank wouldn't make sense outside of a modern setting, or a futuristic setting where English slang is still a thing. It's fine if your Isekai'd character says it too. But not if the meaning is understood.
