Is that the only place I can get it? They usually carry unique staffs though;

you can buy them from some college members and find them on mages in dungeons but the strongest staffs are found on dragon priests

also there's unique staffs like wabbajack and sanguines rose that are quest rewards

I've played this game for a few hundred hours and didn't know this forge existed. How does it work? is it like arcane enchanting?

you can sometimes find them on dead mages.

More like Alchemy- combine ingredients to get something else. Just in this case, it's staves, scrolls, tomes or other things instead of potions.

You can also create deadra heart on the atronach forge. But it's easier to get deadra heart elsewhere. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Atronach_Forge

Since this topic is here... is it possible to, MQ spoiler follows,
Spoiler
legitimately get that Skuldafn Dragon Priest's staff that seems to keep the portal to Sovngarde open? Like, quickly take it, and still get to Sovngarde before the portal closes, for example? :P The staff was in my inventory for a few seconds and it looked neat.

You can find staffs all over the place, in some shops and in loot.

I have stolen the majority of the staffs I have. You can often find them on Skyrims magic users and it's as easy as stealing an iron sword (pickpocket).

It's pretty limited- nearly all of it is conjuration related, and there's a few things you have to master Conjuration to get. Still, it's not that bad once you find the recipes.
