At first, not being able to craft spells sounded real bad, but I think the new functionality of spells is an equal trade-off. Plus, the CS will let you make whatever spell you want more than likely. Someone will probably even implement an in-game GUI for some sort of spell crafting if a way is found.

 

I'm not sure if Zaldiir has a list of spells compiled on the info thread, but I'd be more than glad to do some searching for confirmed spells and functions.

I don't think we will be able to make spells this time around but when you think about it other than maybe making some creative uses of spells mechanics like perma invisibility or short duration super powerful buffs to one shot things it didn't feel like you got more powerful or interesting spells. It was oh this Flare spell that does 6 fire damage and this Immolation spell which does 110 fire damage still only show the same measly little fireball effect. We already know for a fact there are much much more interesting spell effects in Skyrim such as creating a giant area of effect explosion around yourself, turning the ground to ice to slow enemies, shooting lightning out of your hands that archs and chains between multiple targets, sending people flying like a jedi force push, teleportation, more powerful conjuration summonings like perma pets and even dragons themselves, hardening your skin like stone to raise armor, etc. I can't help but think Bethesda played with the mod Midas Magic and said,"This is what we need in Skyrim not rehashed effects with just different stats".

 

So I really don't care if they remove the spell crafting in Skyrim in favor of much more powerful and interesting spells and even if they do with the construction kit and a little modding know how you will still be able to make your own spells so all is well.
