AFAIK, you can scribe spells from the game onto scrolls but you can't combine effects to make completely new ones.

You need to change the script of the spell of your choice. Let's say you take the script for the magic missile and change the properties of it into whatever effect you want it to have (100 cold damage). Unfortunaly, I don't know how to change scripts.

You would probably be better off asking your question on the forums at the vault.

To alter scripts, you need to go into the Toolset. This is not at all a trivial exercise, especially if you don't have a programming background, and creating new spells is a fairly advanced topic. I would recommend becoming familiar with what is available in the toolset first. There are some excellent tutorials at the vault.
