During Final Jeopardy, Alex Trebek stands by the monitor and reads the answer off of a colorful card that says 'Final Jeopardy'.
Throughout the show though, he looks down at a stand in front of him. I am unsure whether he is reading the correct answers off of a computer screen or a physical card/ paper- but he does have a pen in his hand and you can observe him making corrections here and there.
Prior to taping, Alex goes over all of the clues and the correct responses with the producers and the writing staff to firm up any possible problems with the material that is going to be played on taping day. Alex will also makes notes on his copies of the game material so that he knows what words in a clue to stress and also noting any possible alternate responses that may have come up during his meetings with the writers and producers. Any additional information that is mentioned on a particular clue after a response is given is usually written on his copies of the material by the writers.
On Alex Trebek's lectern, there is a small flat screen monitor that displays the clue that a contestant has selected.
As for the card that Alex has during final Jeopardy. The card that he holds has the final jeopardy category, clue, and the correct response including any possible alternate responses that the writers and/or researchers may have found that would be acceptable. He also has handwritten on the bottom of the card, the contestants score going into final jeopardy, the amount of that contestant's wager, and what their score would be if the response that the contestant has written should be either correct or incorrect. The noting of the scoring data is there so that if a contestant does make somewhat of an oddball wager, he can quickly announce the score without having to wait for operator of the scoring machine to change it on the contestant's lectern.
As far as what he is "writing", he is only crossing out the clues that are already been selected so that he does not reread it in error.

What is Alex Trebek's salary?
The personal assets of Alex Trebek, the annual Salary from Jeopardy, along with his Tax records, actual income from investments and all other sources have not been made public by Alex Trebek. Salary: Rumoured to be in the $10-million range (reported in 2003 as in the 6 million dollar range). With 25 years of a large salary Alec Trebek must make as much or more income from investments of past earnings, Add to that any income from the showing of older episodes. But the bottom line is that all of the income estimates about Alex Trebek are just that, estimates without any knowledge of the actual figures. The guesses are not even intelligent, years ago the star of the Good Wife reportedly turned down 25 million for a three year contract on ER to be part of a large cast. Late night host Conan got that much for not doing the show after Jay Leno came back. Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune are the highest rated syndicated shows on TV and the 3 Stars are supposed to make less than that. The best estimate would be still in the eight figures range, just not the very beginning of it.
Where do you find the bracelet the beads and the wand from the wizards return alex vs alex?
Alex was holding her wand when bad Alex was looking at the marbles that had all the mortals in them. Alex was going to shut down the machine, but Dominic distracted her. Dominic said it would be a good use of time to save your family. Dominic then through the wand and Alex used a rope-spell to catch it. Alex put the bracelet on and then Mason pushed Dominic off the leaning tower of Pisa. Alex then gave up all her powers with a spell.
