i kind of have theory about this.

Kira mentions in 'Silverfinger' that a kitsune creates foxfire by rubbing it's tails together. I think i read/heard somewhere that kitsunes get there tails after reaching a certain age. Maybe kira isn't old enough to have tails to rub together and create foxfire yet?

At the hospital and with Barrow, she was absorbing existing electricity, not creating her own. Maybe the electricity she used to reform the kitana came from what she had absorbed previously?

Basically, maybe she can absorb electricity for various uses, but can't create it yet.

...or maybe i'm massively overthinking it and it would just be too expensive budget-wise to show on a regular basis. haha.
