Can you cure Astarion's vampirism?

You can't fully "cure" Astarion's vampirism in a standard playthrough, as he's a powerful undead, but you can significantly alter his fate by convincing him not to ascend to become a Vampire Lord, choosing instead to free his spawn and find alternative, less monstrous paths, with potential narrative endings involving God Gale (if Gale becomes a god) or other powerful magic like a Wish spell offering hope for a true cure in epilogues or mods, though "Wish" can be tricky.
