Consuming nightmare fuel and pure horror is a cool idea. But it doesn't seem very useful right now

Temporarily charging the battery to full seems very situational. 
Maybe it should also buff the Auto-Grabber and Exploiterator in some way?

Agree. Even just being able to actually use it as charge would be better, e.g., each shadow fuel can simply be consumed for 1 charge (maybe at the cost of sanity).

Would be really cool if it super charged WX in some way. E.g., the circuit effects could be multiplied by some amount (imagine the illumination circuit gets brighter, the haste increases a bit, their stats get a boost, etc...), like 1.1x multiplier to all circuit effects, while running on shadow fuel or it could change circuit effects / unlock alternate circuit effects while under the shadow fuel effect.

Imo it'd be really cool if eating pure horror would overclock/overcharge you, giving you extra damage or speed. Pure horror seems to have some sort of electrical property if the red lines in it's sprite are anything to go by, so I think it'd make sense. The only downside would be that it'd be basically non existant pre-shadow rifts unless you dupe dreadstone armor, and I've never been a fan of affinity skills that are useless/inaccessible pre-rifts.

Multiplying the effects of circuits is a really cool idea, and it could fix the problem of pure horror being kinda inaccessible pre-rift by allowing nightmare fuel to do the same thing, but with lowered stats boosts.

A very correct perspective. At present, this ability can only provide temporary life-saving measures in case of power loss due to special reasons (death, rain).
Having a black heart may temporarily provide stronger power (such as attack power), as it aligns with the original design.
However, it may be possible to activate 1 to 2 uncharged slots, which can be temporarily activated (1 to 2 minutes) after consuming these terrifying foods, at the cost of not being able to use weapons and armor with moon abilities, losing rationality, or consuming too much of these things in a short period of time will be eroded by shadows, just like being controlled by a shadow boss.

I posted a topic before the affinity come out but I don't think they have the time to design and implement such a large change.
