Special items vs skills

I'm seeking clarification about special or magical items.

The example characters and the character generation chapter in HeroQuest show items with ratings e.g brookiller spear 17. The character might also have a skill speak fighting 17.

Are items like this just used to augment other skills (the rules seem to imply not). In the case of fighting a broo would the character use spear fighting 17 augmented by brookiller spear 17? If the two are increased separately the player would tend to just increase the spear fighting skill as this would be more generally useful, but could be applied to the broo equally.
