No, they can be used like any ability.

Or Broo-killer Spear, augmented by Spear Fighting.

True. sounds like the player should have made a more general item (like Chaos-killing spear). Of course, one could allow Broo-killer Spear to be used with an improvisational penalty against other Chaos monsters. Or discover that it has other broo-related abilities (like Detect Broo or Fight Broo Disease).
