Excuse me Z, but...

Reiatsu-Infused Cooking: ...Kirio can imbue the food she cooks with Reiatsu in order to strengthen anyone who consumes it beyond any level they could ever assume.

Reiatsu- ...Kirio can imbue the base ingredients of the food she creates by infusing the materials from the onset of growth with her Reiatsu, fundamentally changing the nature and properties.

And: Reiryoku (霊力, Spiritual Power) is a power aligned with the spiritual sensitivity and willpower of the user.

While Kirio might use Reiryoku as the base of her powers (as per all spiritual beings) she made her food with Reiatsu. Not sure how eating that increases your Reiryoku.... granted, it worked, but it seemed to be somewhat temporary in order for them to endure the training they all went through at the palace. Actually, I have no idea where I am going with all of this. The clearest and probably most irrelevant example is Ichigo, the whole series is basically "gets beat by opponent A, trains to gain more spiritual energy, beat the opponent, opponent B shows up, repeat..." You know, I wonder if it has to do with battle experience, like, the more you use it the more it begins to grow, like muscles and brain power. Someone with little battle experience has an underdeveloped reiryoku, while captains and the like would obviously have a ton of experience and thus a ton of reiryoku. I am guessing there are also natural limits to how far one person can go based on the potential of their "soul," but since both Renji and Rukia seem to disprove that, maybe it is that all souls have "limiters" that serve to naturally inhibit their Reiryoku, and if they can learn to push past whatever limiters they have, the reiryoku of their soul can increase.

... I am rambling here.... *please ignore this*
