I wonder if Reincarnate would work on Astarion?

Given it states "Provided that the creature has been dead no longer than 10 days" and being a Vampire (Or Vampire Spawn) is considered "Undead" meaning Astarion has been "Dead" for longer than 10 days, even if he's been walking around until very recently.

Actually you likely couldn't.

It specifies "If the target's soul isn't free to do so, the spell fails" and given that Wyll's soul belongs to Mizora due to the contract, it's not free to be taken and put into a new body. Not unless Mizora gives you permission to Reincarnate him.

Of course, if you had permission and thus could cast the spell, yes, Wyll's new body wouldn't have horns (Unless it was a Tiefling body, which would be an amusing coincidence)

You wouldn't be able to target Astarion with the spell in the first place because you must target a Humanoid, and in DND 5E, a Vampire Spawn is 'Undead' creature type, which is a different type than 'Humanoid', the two being mutually exclusive ( In terms of technical Creature Type, if not linguistically ). And good catch about Wyll, I was so focused on the horns/body that I forgot his soul isn't free in the first place:

However, we do have an indication that Mizora is reluctant to permanently bind Wyll's soul in the Nine Hells at least until the party takes care of the Absolute, because Gale's Scroll of True Resurrection works on Wyll.... which reminds me, that scroll is also supposed to revert Astarion back into his non-undead form. Another Larian oversight.
