the white wavy orb effect? not a very exact description, and besides that effect is used for many defence speels - mantle etc.
the save vs are used to provide a form of resistance against centrain effects and work as follows -
roll a d20 (20 sided die for those that have no brain)
subtract your penalty.
if you roll greater than the appropriate save value then youve saved and the spell gets nullified, else its not. of course some spells only save for half, but thats the general gist.
oh, and yes, as a DM in several different game systems and as a decent wargamer, i can say that not only do i understand this game mechanics entirely, it is actually a surprisingly simple system comapred to some. well, maybe not entirely, i havent PnPed this for some time and my rule book is MIA, but mostly.
