Well, there's the ritual of Remove Curse, for starters.  (In my campaign
this was rather seriously modified to make it actually practical to use.  As
written it's almost impossible to get it to work even under the best
possible conditions.)

Other possible magical cures might include wishes from djinni or
leprechauns, or demonic aid.

I don't think any of the "normal" spells as written will do much for
backfire effects.  Which is not to say that new spells useful for such might
not be researched by the players in your game (if you're using the research
rules from *Arcane Wisdom*.)
