Not as well as you might think. Wax is consumed to power the flame. So right off the bat, the wax pool is going to get smaller and smaller with each burn. Next: When the flame doesn't have a pool to burn from, the flame burns hotter thus causing the wax to melt more quickly. So you'll wind up with a candle that doesn't last very long before you need to swap the candle around. Third: The wick is consumed. So you'll need to add a fresh wick each time you burn to ensure that it's done right.
Could it work like the picture? No. But it would work to a degree. Cheaper and easier to just buy new candles :-P

Yeah; that makes sense.

It would take 2 or 3 candles to fill the mold, left over wax used to be recycled.
