Pretty much what silver said i believe. You cast fire and burn a guy, well for that duration, he now incurs a penalty on his saving throws against the status effect "Burning".
Id also say when you dim a guy and he only is dimmed for 1 round and then you dark him again, the affliction is still there from your duration (if its high enough) so you can dark him again and he will still have the penalty. By wording anyways. I would say by wording the dark affliction going in no matter what, just simply casting dark on them will invoke the penalty. It does not state they need to fail the save, just casting a spell that causes a status effect invokes Dark affliction. So if you fail the first time on he throw, your next try will have a better chance. I hope i answered correctly.
