In "The Crow Child" by Mary Mapes Dodge, the plot device that refines the story’s theme is:

a magic event forces a character to accept responsibility.

This is because the story explores the themes of personal growth and the importance of understanding one's actions and their consequences, often through the use of magical or transformative events that prompt the characters to reconsider their responsibilities.
