Well, I'm not sure about defining the saving throw as a way to
differentate between effects cause by an object and those caused by a
spell, but I do recommend that you look in your mag_affects function and
add something like this right before the check to see if the victim is
already affected by the spell and it has an accumulative affect (if it
does, it fails the spell):
/*
* If the victim has that spell affect from an object, then make sure
* that the spell is treated like the above, which fails the spell.
*/
for (aff = victim->affected; aff && !is_innate; aff = aff->next) {
if (spellnum == aff->type && aff->duration == -1)
is_innate=TRUE;
}
if (affected_by_spell(victim,spellnum) && is_innate) {
send_to_char(NOEFFECT, ch);
return;
}
(don't forget to add int is_innate up at the top).

p.s. Got this from searching for 'innate' in the snippets section of
developer.circlemud.org - this is from my old code, though Danny Jacobs
wrote innate spells on objects code as well.
