I have tried looking up every fantasy novel with crow or raven in the title, with no luck.

I hope this is enough detail, I read the book a very long time ago. It was very different to most of the fantasy literature of the time which posed massive leaps of power gains once magic is mastered. By the end of the novel the main character had become an accomplished magic user, nothing dramatic or large scale, the whole point of the novel was their struggle to make modest gains. Magic works circumspectly, we don't get into the inner workings of the magic system used in the world.
