The Cherub, Ofanite and Elohite ones seem most in the need of change as you go back in history, IMO.
One can imagince the Elohites being able to do any patient and complex acts of creation, such as assembling things made from clockwork.
The Cherubs would just need a less conspicuous (but still technological) means of communication although this wouold get harder and harder to justiy in terms of colour as time goes back. Hmmm...
The Ofanite resonance woould still
work even in the Stone age, but it'd be a lot less useful until some serious metalworkng starts getting going, and only really attains its current level of usefulness with the advent of widepread distribution of wired telecommunications and electricity. So perhaps in the past Jean gave out something similar that was less dependent of the presence of metallic objects criss-crossing the globe.
All the others in th core rules would seem to work just fine (although the Seraphic "video screen" might have caused more comment when used in the Elizabethan era than it would today).
The other thng about Jean's history is the evlution ofhis Word-concept from the primal forces of Lightning, mostly associated with actions of gods and the starting of fires for much of human-prehistory, into the echnological force of inspiration and illumination he is today.
