It's true that, even though it's supposed to grant -1 bonuses to your Saving Throws for the spell's duration (or something like that, I forget), no bonuses appear on your Record screen. They are probably still implemented in the game, though perhaps the only way to tell in-game would be to turn on the Extra Feedback option, so that in your Text Window, you can see all of the dice rolls for combat and Saving Throws.

Each character also has little Local Variables for Chant and ChantBad. Perhaps BioWare went this route (and not simply imposing bonuses or penalties to your existing Saves) just to ensure that Chant could not be cumulative with itself.
