Dazzling Flares--what's the save for?

I recently played

Spoiler:
#4-12: A Festive Occasion, which has a downloadable boon for an item that casts Dazzling Flares once a day.

Which raises a question about how the Dazzling Flares spell actually works. The save entry says "Fortitude negates," but the description never mentions a save, or the effects of failure or success. It just says the flares impose a penalty to Perception in the area. Does a successful Fort save negate that penalty?

My character will cherish his new toy regardless, simply based on its source, but a better understanding of the spell would encourage him to use it more.

That's a standard save entry for a spell.

Just like Daze, for example, which doesn't describe what happens if you save, and only lists "Will negates".

Same for Spell Resistance. If you don't overcome the enemy's SR, the spell has no effect.

OK, that makes sense. Thanks, Nefreet!
