That's not to say it will be an easy task, but I may know where to start.
On close inspection, the markings on the Crimson Cult's banners bear a strong resemblance to certain thaumaturgical sigils. Maybe their meanings will become clear as I expand my thaumaturgical knowledge?
In the meantime, I've spent so long studying the banners that it would be easy to make a few of my own.
Using vis and components I've discovered, I'll be able to work them together to create an embellished fabric for crafting said banners, as well as other items that end up requiring it. I've also noted down the related components on the next few pages.

After struggling to construct it at an Arcane Workbench as detailed in these schematics, I've decided that infusion would be the best way to go like how I did for my elemental tools, it ended up being a success after much trial and error.
The 'Bow of Bone' as they call it is able to shoot arrows more quickly in comparison to a regular bow, the arrows fired are also stronger and will go farther than normal.
