Chaos ability "upgrades" the unit to another (using it without technology or another requirement doesn't make sence, you could directly use the upgraded version). It doesn't only replace the unit in-game, but also in shops and training buildings.
You can notice that on Siege engine. When you upgrade Barrage, it's icon and tooltip changes. It was originally used in campaing to transform Orcs to Chaos Orcs, therefor the name "Chaos"

so, in fact i cant do the same effect as on bloodmage for other units??

Yes, but you can't make them spin around the head like it does on bloodmage.
Sphere is an ability that only affects the graphics. It's used to 'attach' the green spheres to the model.

Attachments tutorial

You can attach things to various points, such as the head, the left arm, the right foot and vice versa. Blood Mage has three points above the head that rotate called Sprite 1, Sprite 2 and Sprite 3. Not all units have these, but there are other units than Blood Mage who has it, like the Avatar of Vengeance.
