Hidden power is not the same thing as potential, though.

Potential power is the best-case scenario usage you can get out of something. The rarer or harder to acquire the best-case scenario the stronger you can make the ability. Draven Q, for example.

Hidden power is power without associated gameplay. Most auras count as this.
