The implementation in BG1 had a limited range, even if you could see the whole map. The caster would move toward the targeted location, then cast the spell at maximum range. The cutscene Dimension Door (like Davaeorn's usage) actually combined ForceSpell with the map coordinate teleport command, to make it seem like it was a long-distance teleport spell. But it only worked in scripts.

BioWare's notes said they removed this spell because it broke scripts in Baldur's Gate II.
