What is the difference between 'unconcealed' and 'revealed'?

What are the different nuances, if any, between the words 'unconcealed' and 'revealed'?

Example sentences:

"... In addition to that he is caught in a dilemma when he faces a life and death situation for the first time, where his talent becomes unconcealed for him to own.”

“... In addition to that he is caught in a dilemma when he faces a life and death situation for the first time, where his talent becomes revealed for him to own.”

Some background context: the 'talent' in question is the person's talent to fight and survive in a life and death situation. Seeing as the person, before the situation, was you're everyday person who is unaware of their own dormant talent (state of being) because they've never been in a situation that required the awakening of this talent (state of being turned into action) until that point in time, either word, as defined in the Meriam Webster dictionary, works.

In my own ignorant opinion as well, either one works, its just a matter of choosing the one that is more accurate at describing what's occurring.

The word unconcealed is defined as "openly shown" in the Meriam Webster dictionary. In my opinion, it works in the above sentence as the person's fighting talent is exposed or 'openly shown' to the commentator.

The word 'revealed' is defined as "to make (something secret or hidden) publicly or generally known" which again works as the talent was hidden up until the situation where average joe has to fight for his life.

From Merriam-Webster:

reveal

verb
2 : to make (something secret or hidden) publicly or generally known
// reveal a secret

unconcealed

adjective
: not concealed : openly shown
// unconcealed admiration/disappointment

So, first off, one describes an action, the other describes a state of being.

But, more importantly, if something is revealed, people are actively informed about it. But if something is unconcealed it is simply something that is observable.

In other words, I will definitely know about the existence of something that has been revealed to me. I may or may not know about something that is unconcealed. The former is more active, while the latter is more passive.

I can only answer this usefully by applying my knowledge as a native speaker, looking at the implications and expectation of use of these terms, rather than their explicit dictionary definitions.

Unconcealed is a state which exists in which a thing is not concealed. It's essentially assumed to be a permanent, unchanging state.

Revealed is a change-based state - that is, a thing was concealed, and no longer is - it has been (or is being) revealed.

So for me, that first example sentence doesn't read properly at all, whereas the second is spot-on.

Hope that helps.
