I've read somewhere that you can do that with rituals, but it's not obvious from the UI, and I don't understand why they didn't add the same feature for forging.

Mouse over the caster and press SHIFT-M to cast a monthly ritual.

The short answer to why the folks at IW haven't done various UI-related things is they (by their own admission) dislike UI coding, and prefer to code AI or do other gameplay-related stuff. The aVersion to UI coding may be a perversely Swedish thing, because Paradox (another Swedish outfit, which also began with 2 programmers) has had ongoing UI issues (for years) with EU, EU2, HOI, and Victoria. But unlike Paradox, IW actually has produced a good AI. If the HOI AI was half as good as Dom's, I'd still be playing HOI.

Cloud Trapeze and Teleport work only on the caster, and not on an entire army (I think they arrive too early in the game for that), and Stygian Paths kills your army. (I'm sure there are more, but I had to search to find even these.)

Gateway (page 117) works on the caster and all troops assigned to him. The L8 Construction magic item Gate Stone (page 61) works just like the Gateway spell.
