They won't just let a slave be used for blood magic – it's too expensive. So, the probability of being used for blood magic is no higher than the probability that in Orlais, a knight will seduce his daughter, in the Free Marches a bandit will kill him, or he will suffocate in poverty in Antiva, or that he will be sold into slavery to assassins with their deadly training programs, etc.

Those who are not being shot by Stalin now are being killed by gangsters, for example.
