en entirely exploded and that . . . the powers of [Agrippa] were chimerical, . . . I should certainly have thrown Agrippa aside. . . A chimera is a deception or fantasy of the mind. Why does the author use the word chimerical here?

The author Mary Shelley use the word chimerical in that line because she said that the powers of Cornelius Agrippa were improbable and because she wanted to say this in a fancy way. 

Hope this Helps :)

BTW, Mary Shelley is the author of Frankenstein <span />
