Based on this image I am thinking of generating new lore and including it in my headcanon as follows: The kirin have two stomachs. One is for normal food. The other is for digesting, processing, and storing flammable materials (both solid and liquid). From this second stomach, the kirin get the fuel they need for their nirik flames.
The flammable nutrients they get from this second stomach must be stored in some sort of magically stabilized way (imagine fat cells, but they are storing granuals of magically stabilized flammable material). When they go nirik, there is a rapid metabolis of these stored nutrients to make nirik flames/heat.
Thoughts?
