This brings up a feature of Jean that I think gets neglected.
He IS primal. He's Lightning. He's also the patron of
science and technology only (1) by a metaphorical extension
of his Word similar to the extension of Flowers to peace and
mercy, and (2) because someone had to take up the slack when
Raphael died.
But before and beyond all the cerebral stuff, Jean is the
Cosmic Zap. If, roughly speaking, David, Oannes, Janus, and
Gabriel are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, Jean is force field.
This side of Jean might be clearer in a low-tech setting, such
as an historical one. In such a setting, Lightning angels
might not be pushing the existing technical envelope much, but
be more militant, dealing in thunderbolts, ball lightning,
auroral displays, etc., and working closely with Janus's angels
in controlling the weather.
