Secret Advantage

Secret Advantage is the last of the Potential Advantages introduced on B33.
==Animals==
One interesting idea for the two animal templates is to give them Potential Reciprocal Advantages ment to buy of their Lenses. A Wild Animal is "Potential Not Bestial" can be tamed, while a Domestic Animal who is "Potential Not Property" can be tamed. 15-point costs could be halved to 8.
To fit the other metatrait you might have a Secret of the other disadvantage you must acquire.
==comparisons==
Unlike Heir it gives full-power (not half-power) benefits, but there is no clue as to what they are (until fully paid for) and they can't be controlled.
Unlike Schrödinger’s Advantage you aren't guaranteed to be able to buy it off "when all is lost" to "help you out of trouble". Instead the GM is expected to reveal the truth at a "dramatic" moment, not a convenient one.
==possible version==
B254 mentions psionic PAs:
:they will function as if they had the limitations Unconscious Only (p. 115) and Uncontrollable (p. 116) until fully paid for.
Secret Advantage seems like the best approximation of this fluff: "it isn’t under your control" sounds exactly like that combination. Except perhaps worse, since you actually CAN control (make Will roll to deactivate) Uncontrollable powers, you just can't actively use them or turn them on.
Liz Sherman had these modifiers yet was aware of her enhanced pyrokinesis so it's probably not this, and an entirely separate 4th category which B33 neglected to include.
Mechanically it does not seem clear what "character does not know they have a power" would actually represent, nor how "player's character does not know about the advantage either"
