No information about it was released, but some New World residents managed to create new Tier Magic spells, so why not? However, there should be some limitations. You can do what you want in your fanfiction, but in Overlord, it should be very difficult for a player to create a new spell, as we have seen no feat where Momonga learned an existing spell, even if it is implied he could learn more spells through his Dark Wisdom skill.

Any player can also learn spells via level up. They could theoratically create a spell instead of learning one during said level up, but it is only a theory and it should be within the parameters of their magic abilities and specialization (conjuration, illusion, necromancy, etc.) within the class they leveled up. If they take a level in an Illusionist class, they could learn x spells in said class, or create x spells, but in that class. However, is that truly useful? YGGDRASIL has more than 6 000 spells and average players can only learn around 300 spells when they reach level 100. They are limited by their character build, which is also their source of strength. They can learn spells and skills faster than New World natives by gaining experience and leveling up (if they are not level 100), but creating them would be different. In fact, if creating spells was that easy, any player could learn a spell by seeing it once and imitating it or they  could also change the spell they can use; for example turning a fireball into a waterball by using the same spell and altering the element.

Tier Magic's spells are complex as a lesser tier's spell can still be as strong as a superior's tier spell. It is possible to alter them with Metamagic and in the New World, players have greater control over the mechanics of their spells. Understanding Tier Magic would be a prerequiste to create new spells. It's not as easy as learning them through their avatar's level up. They need to study magic and tier magic's magic circles and how they function, as well as the process of learning a spell before they can even create a new one from scratch. In addition, the higher the tier, the more complex it would be and the more time would be necessary to develop it. maybe a few weeks or months for tier 1, but tier 10 could take decades or centuries. There would also be limitations even if you want to create the ultimate spell, it wouldn't turn like that because it is still a tier 10 spell at its best.
