History: (Day of Judgment #1-5) - When Asmodel merged with the Spectre and unleashed Hell on Earth Zatanna formed the Sentinels of Magic to combat him. The Sentinels separated Asmodel from most of the Spectre-Force, containing it in Madame Xanadu's orb. They knew it was only a temporary measure, and sent Captain Marvel, Starfire and S.T.R.I.P.E. into orbit to retrieve the Spear of Destiny. The Sentinels split up, some going to Purgatory to find a new suitable vessel for the Spectre, and some going to Hell to reignite its' fire that Asmodel put out in order to send the armies of Hell back home. The group that went to Purgatory brought back Green Lantern Hal Jordan, but Asmodel turned his soul to glass and shattered it. Dr. Fate restored Hal, allowing Hal to take the Spectre-Force. The Sentinels in Hell reignited the hellfire pits when Faust sacrificed new Sentinel member Enchantress, returning the demon army to Hell. The Sentinels welcomed Dr. Fate and Sentinel onto their team, and agreed to meet whenever magical threats menaced Earth.
