The Mage Guild roguelike is purely based on the idea of DIY magical items (you can mix any two objects and they create something new. For example adding a wolf hair to a polymorph potion transforms you into a wolf)
While you don't create spells themselves, you can create objects which cast spells

Tried it out. It's quite an interesting and simple game.

Magicka is great.  Death is a slap on the wrist (unless you lose your only staff of war  ) and there are so many combos that are effective.  Do I go for a water quake and then frost nova to turn everyone into a popsicle.  Or do I throw steam rocks and frost rocks to do the same thing at a longer range?  Should I just throw up an earth shield and then kill every living thing with a super steam electric nova?  Maybe I should use beam version instead.  There are so many possibilities.  But then again your buddy accidentally (on purpose ) got you wet and now you've killed yourself because you were trying to use electricity while wet.

Lost Magic for the DS, as mentioned, is cool. The basic is you can pick from six elements and three levels from those, and can cast a spell using a combination of up to three symbols. There is a pre-made spell list, which covers all two symbol combinations and a few three symbol combinations, but it was pretty intuitive. 396 spells in all. Great sign recognition, too.

Just a note- the name of the game is Slash'em, not chained blitz, and it's a mod for nethack.

It isn't really DIY, but Fall from Heaven II, a civ 4 mod, offers quite a bit of available magic, and you can stack spells and enchantments on units basically however you like onto basically any unit, making for some interesting combinations.
